This is very good! I didn't preserve this, as it will be used up this week, this thickens on standing and makes a wonderful topping for French toast or on just about anything! I used frozen berries as that is all I had, and decreased the nutmeg to only a pinch, also I only used a few tablespoons of orange liqueur. thank you for another winner Marg!...Kitten:)

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted. My thanks to Dreamgoddess for hosting the contest & SusieD for the banner design!
