Cream Cheese Fruit Tart - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 single pie shell, baked
    1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1 teaspoon lemon, rind of, grated
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    fresh strawberries, halved
    kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced
    1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
    1 (11 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
    1/4 cup apple jelly, melted (microwave is great for this!)
Preparation
    In small bowl combine the cream cheese, sugar, lemon peel and juice.
    Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, scraping sides of bowl often, about 1 to 2 minutes.
    Spread over baked pie crust.
    Chill at least 1 hour.
    Several hours before serving, arrange fruit on filling.
    I like to use the strawberries nearest the rim of the pie shell, then a ring of overlapping kiwi slices, then a ring of mandarin oranges followed with a \"bull's-eye\" of the crushed pineapple in the center.
    Brush the fruit with the melted apple jelly and serve.
    You may substitute whatever your favorite fruit or berries are for the topping.
