so far so good! It looks great and the colour is wonderful. The idea of adding apple to raspberry is great, lovely flavour. I used splenda in place of the sugar. Easy recipe to put together; it looks like it is setting nicely. Thanks for posting. October 16, we like it so much that I found some blackberries to do, blackberry and apple is wonderful !!

I live in Santa Cruz, California and I really love to bake. Over the last few years, I've focused my cooking and baking on using organic ingredients, less sugar, and whole wheat grains. What a fun transformation!
I am also having a lot of fun turning my recipes into true "vegan" options, which often means healthier baking and cooking! I am not vegan, but I love offering the option.
Give my recipes a try and let me know what you think. Thanks!
