Strawberry and Peach Lime Custard Bars image

After I baked, my dad would always find his way to the kitchen and ask if he could try what I made. I enjoyed asking him to taste test different creations, like these bars. He was always ready with a compliment. Other fruits can be arranged over the custard, depending on what's in season. -Carlin Tou, Chandler, Arizona
