this is a wonderful dish and the sherry really gives it a nice flavor . i used the pignoli and currants, this was better than dessert!

Absolutely delicious, and it couldn't have been easier to make. I used the bits of crust left over on the cutting board, along with a sprinkling of brown sugar and a couple splashes of sherry, as a topping. Give this a try, it's wonderful!
