This is a great recipe for a simple and elegant dessert. I have substituted with different kinds of berries and it's always great!
Its a very good recipe
Made this recipe with some fresh raspberries from a pick-your-own farm. DELISH! I'm telling everyone I know. And so easy and versatile - I love it!
I made this recipe with peaches. It was out of this world.
I used frozen blueberries instead of cherries. Very nice, my husband likes it very much..
Yummy. I just made this today with fresh blackberries. It really was easy
Very excellent and very easy. A nice dessert when you don't want something too sweet.
