Super easy to make! I subbed about half splenda for the brown sugar and used frozen berries and peaches. Neither of the frozen fruits were sweetened so I did not alter the sugar content. I added everything to a 2qt oval baker and baked as directed; made just enough for 7 of us to have a dessert sized serving a la mode after our BBQ tonight. The nutmeg did not appeal to me on the top... although everyone else said it was great. Made for Please Review game.
