Yet another one of my Czech favorites! A mixed fruit paastry cake with loads of fresh berries and white nectarines. What better way to kick off the New Year? This Czech treat is simple to make and can be enjoyed for dessert or even, which I prefer, for a Sunday breakfast. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and Happy New Year, 2007!

Just roll out a basic Pate Brisee dough and top with whatever fresh fruit you have on hand. To make the fruit even tastier, we like to add sugar, a dash of rum, and some lemon zest.

Cut out half-inch wide strips of the dough and layer over fruit in a criss-cross manner. Bake for a good 40 minutes at 375 degrees and there you have it!
