Mama's Kitchen (Hope)'s Note:

WOW! What a terrific dessert! So easy and fun! PLUS the fruit topping is prepared and waiting in the fridge which makes this ideal for dinner parties, guests, etc.. Imagine Angel Food cake lightly grilled and topped with these or any combo of your favorite fresh fruits and a dollop of sherbet or sorbet! All I can say is WOW! I hope you like this too!

Now this is certainly a different way to serve up cake! Not only does the grilling give the angel food a nice taste, but the spiced up fruit salsa & the coolness of the lemon sherbet that I used maked for A VERY TASTY DESSERT! Thanks for sharing a great recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Beverage Tag cooking game]
