I loved these, made them a couple of weeks ago and twice since but forgot to review them. It is amazing what port does to the berries, i don't even like port as a drink but it turns them into absolute decadent deliciousness

mmmmmmmmm is the only way to describe this baby! I had a bunch of "left over" fruits from yesterdays lunch. Made this exactly as written except omitted the blackberries because I did not have any of thouse on hand, other than that I followed as written with very good results. My whole family loved this dessert.

I am a very lucky lady. I recently moved to a very small town in New Brunswick, Canada with my wonderful husband who is my best friend. Very fortunate to have a cherished son, wonderful daughter in law and adorable granddaughter and cute wee grandson. We are very blessed. A big thank you to everyone that has made my recipes... hope you enjoyed them.
