Well, I followed this recipe more or less, but once I folded in the fruits & nuts, it let it set until somewhat firm, AND THEN I broke it up a bit & folded in the sour cream-&-mayo mixture rather than serving it on the side! Once it was all firmed up again, I thought it was great! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my groupmates in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #37]
