on a fruit sauce/glaze; on a berry sauce/glaze
If you know what fruit it is, you could always place the name of that fruit in front: e.g. on a strawberry sauce, on a berry sauce

probably not, unless they're talking about chunks of fruit

coulis
Restaurants tend to go for 'french-sounding' phrasing when describing their dishes.
I would be surprised to see fruit sauce on a menu. Strawberry sauce on an ice cream menu perhaps, but I would go with coulis here.

on a bed of fruit coulis
I think all the other suggestions come close, but I think this describes it best. If something is served on top of something else that is spread across the bottom of the plate it is usually described as "served on a bed of ..." If this is a "Fruchtspiegel" I would assume that the fruit is cooked into something like a coulis.
Note from asker:
| Thanks Sanni. In this case this seemed rather long-winded. |

Note from asker:
| Thanks, Johanna. To think I asked the same question before myself! Actually coulis had occurred to me since asking the question and this time I think it fits, so why not propose it? |
