1 small cantaloupe, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
1 pint large fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cut into thin slices

Make puff pastry crackers first. Set aside to cool.
For salad: Alternate slices of fruit, in order listed, on each of 4
dinner plates. Cover each plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Combine cream and cinnamon in small saucepan and bring to boil.
Reduce to 3/4 cup over high heat, whisking constantly. Cream will
thicken. Stir sugar into cream and remove from heat. Immediately
spoon about 3 tablespoons cream over each fruit salad. Serve each
salad with 2 puff pastry crackers.
