Fruit Delight

The pineapple can be sliced, sugared, and refrigerated up to 4 hours ahead. Hull and wash strawberries up to 2 hours in advance, storing them on paper towels in the refrigerator. Do not slice bananas or assemble the dish until just before serving, as bananas will brown and the layers will become soggy.

This dessert is best served immediately after assembly. Leftover assembled fruit salad can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 24 hours, but the bananas will darken and the texture will soften considerably. Store any unused whipped cream separately.
