Which fruit to use for Mini Berry Cheesecake Tarts?

I like to use strawberry, blackberries and blueberries when we make fruit desserts like this, mainly because those are our favorites. I also like the way the sugar pulls the juices out of these particular berries.

However, I have made things like Mini Fruit Pizzas with grapes and kiwi, so if you want to change it up you could try those although they don’t really need to macerate those like you would berries.
