Thank you so much for this recipe! I’ve used strawberries and blueberries (instead of the rasberries), and have made it multiple times for my family holiday gatherings. It has received rave review every time with many demands for the recipe!
Thanks for sharing Jane! Glad you loved it! Yes, strawberries and blueberries or a combination all work great in this! -Amy
Can apples be used in this recipe?
Hi Lois. Yes! I think apples would be delicious in place of the raspberries. I would peel and dice about 4 cups. Then sautee them n butter with a little sugar or brown sugar and cinnamon first before assembling the dish. Let me know what you think! I can’t wait to try it myself! Thanks! -Amy
