Thanks for posting this for me. Blueberries were too expensive so I used raspberries & strawberries. I'm sure any berries/redcurrants etc would be fine though. I also put a little bit of lemon zest (about 1T) in as well. Thanks Annette. -
Thank you for sharing. I had a lot of frozen blueberries I needed to use, and I stumbled across this recipe. I also added the lemon zest. Very tasty.

Hi Everyone! For fun I like to cook, eat and drink and occassionaly get out and do some exercise to balance out all the eating I do. Like alot of other people at Zaar I have way too many cookbooks and I just keep buying them (I can't help myself). My poor partnerdoesn't get much of a look-in in the kitchen department anymore, mind you he'd rather eat than cook, so we're a perfect match.
