We made this recipe at a BBQ for a group of friends. . We made it without the glaze(we've tried the glaze, but like it much better without the extra sweetness) sliced it. and lightly browned each slice on the grill. We then covered each serving with thawed frozen strawberries and whipped cream. Everyone raved. The texture is a little course, but that is a positive part of the desert's appeal. Will repeat again with other fruit combinations. Thank you for posting.
