I used this for a special catering job this past week-end and it was the hit of the day! Served it on top of a fanned-out 1/2 of a red pear with a spinach leaf at the top of the pear... added a dollop of whipped cream and a few sliced almonds placed on the cream... it was a beautiful presentation and the taste was out of this world... thank you, thank you , thank you... I am using it Friday night for another catering job at one of our spas... you have a hit recipe on your hand, n_marae... made it the day before I needed it. Doubled the recipe and put it into two 7 x 11 pans... perfect size!
