I made this for dinner tonight and it was FABULOUS. My kids (and Hubby) loved it. I used Chardonnay for the wine. Make sure that your blackberry spread is seedless. I didn't read the label carefully enough on mine, so I had to strain it and it was a HUGE pain. I will DEFINITELY make this again (with seedless blackberry spread).

I subscribed to Southern Living and got this recipe out of the magazine. I've made this many times, and made it again last night. It's always a hit. Wonderful mix of flavors, easy to put together, and impressive on the plate. This recipe is in my permanent file!
