This recipe is very similar to one I use all the time - the only difference was mine calls for a 1/4 cup sugar. I love this one because it uses ingredients we always have on hand and it can be made up quickly when we want a nice dessert (especially when the fruits are in season). Thanks for posting, Miss Annie!
