Used the almonds, dried Fuji apple chunks & substituted some red grape juice for the red wine! We enjoyed this very much & will be making it again ~ I'm looking for a time when I can make it with the wine, but for the moment, it's a non-alcoholic version! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Newest Zaar Tag]
