We loved this! Used less sugar, added the lemon juice as well as the zest, and left out the melted butter. Oh and used mascarpone instead of the buttermilk. I know it sounds like I'd ended up with some other pud, but I'm sure the end result was much the same as the original. Will definately make this again!

this was a lovely light dessert i brought to my dd's home for her bbq dinner.the cooking time and directions were right on. i used 1 lb of blueberries and 1 lb of blackberries. the only change i'd make is to add extra sugar as it was a bit tart for our tastes, but that could have beeen due to the berries first coming into season, though, so the next time i try this i will taste them first before deciding on the amt of sugar to be added.
