Fruit Dessert Pizza

CharmingOpal's Note:

This recipe comes from Better Homes & Gardens. Quick and easy to make. Looks so nice and sure to please. You can use whatever fruit is available seasonally, but I'd use fresh fruit rather than canned. Make sure the fruit is not too wet from washing or else you may end up with a soggy crust.

This is a great little dessert. Had made similar in the past but never with lemon curd and this is certainly more interesting. The only change I make is to do my own crust. Thanks for submitting CharmingOpal.
