"I am going to review this even though I changed some ingredients. The basic fruit mix and topping were the same. I substituted apples for pears and dried cherries for the cranberries and I added chopped pecans to the topping. All else remained the same. This was done purposely for a Taste of Home challenge on the Community Forums. It was a huge success and I can imagine the original ingredients were delicious. I highly recommend this as a volunteer field editor for Taste of Home."
"I was intrigued by the ingredients and more intrigued as you are from Holyoke, Ma. I am a former resident from there. We had it for dessert this evening and will definitely make it again. Any more good recipies like that and please share them. Janet Keighley"
