Awesome, This would be great for a ot luck if kept cold until it was served. It would not last long enough to get warm once set out. I will defininitely try your other tonight for dessert. This afternoon I didn't have to adjust serving numbers since every brought something. The kids loved it.My blackberries have been gone for about 3 weeks, so I used extra blueberries and some strawberries... There were no black berries at the grocery store either. The only other thing I admitted was the salt. I like salt but am on a sodium reduced diet. None the less it turned our great. Thanks for the recipe. I've already had requests for it. It's great because being on zarr I can just print this page off, so they know who the author is and can sign in and look for more. Leanne
