To keep fruit from darkening I either use lemon juice or dissolve some vitamin C in water and pour that over the fruit, then drain it off to get rid of any extra water. I feel like I get better coverage with the latter choice, but sometimes I mix the lemon juice with the C in a little water, and add just a little sugar if the fruit needs it.

It seemed like mine also had some fresh pineapple, but I always vary the fruit according to what is in season and what I can find. It seems as though my recipe also called for mixing something with the cream cheese to make a dressing to keep the fruit from turning dark, but not thin enough to compromise the crust. If I ever find my old recipe I will send it along, but I may have kept it only in my head. I might also remember it being better than it actually was--you know how fickle memories sometimes are!
