November 19, 2020 at 2:41 pmReally good. I put a little less sugar as the strawberries help to sweeten it. Would make again. Very easy

November 25, 2024 at 2:49 pmI’m thinking of using cranberries, lingonberries, strawberries and dark sweet cherries, with the focus on the cranberries.

November 25, 2024 at 10:44 pmI reduced the sugar as well. But I used the juice from half of the orange I used for zest. Added a little cinnamon. I also used fresh cranberries and strawberries..
Turned out great!!! A little more cooking time.
