Awesome!

My husband & I loved it the first time we tried it. I made it when my family came to visit and they loved it as well. I would suggest cutting the recipe in half if it's only 2 people.

Warms the Tummy & Soul

This was a fabulous recipe and my family loved it. I also changed out the fruit to peaches and the dried fruit to blueberries for a change. It was great too. I image any dried fruit (cherries, dates, figs, apricots) would work great as would any nut (walnut, pecan, almond).
