So awesomely easy and delicious! I made for the first time for company and it came out perfect ( I used fresh blackberries picked from my bush in Maine!) ~ have repeated With frozen berries, (still so yummy ) and shared this recipe many times~ We like it with roasted potatoes and ginger garlic green beans.

I used TEXAS Dewberries and it came out wonderfully. What I’m wondering is could you do it with another Berry like a raspberry or something else acidic you know maybe even a kiwi or something?
