I haven't got a clue. For an answer your best bet would be in the Harvest Forum. Here is a link that might be useful: Harvest Forum

Thank you Esh, I guess I'll wait a bit (it's supposed to be 17 degrees out again tonight) and I'll check them in the Spring. Thank you for your response! CM.

This gardening/preserving life certainly has taught me a lot about life. It makes me wonder - too - about the changes in climate that I have seen in this part of the world. It's hard for me to believe that "mere man" could be causing these weather changes - but perhaps. We had lots of very cold and rainy weather - mostly winter -so probably good for fruit trees. On the other hand, tomatoes are usually grown in winter in this part of the country, but certainly not in my back yard. I just picked my first cherry tomato yesterday. The vines are running all over the place. With my advancing age, I just decided to let "em" ramble. They probably can find there way - somehow - to see their way clear to burst up through the squash vines - to get a peak of sunlight. Well - finally finishing up the last of the "cots" and picked slightly green - putting them under screens to ripen - not as good as tree ripe, but at least I gave my winged friends the message - somewhat. The next tree will be awhile - thank goodness. Things are beginning to come ripe fast - now that we've had 2 days of sunshine. Crazy weather - I agree. bejay

Here is the update! I made the recipe with a few changes. My man is diabetic, and I didn't want to load the thing with sugar, so I substituted 1 Cup of Raw Organic Agave Nectar for the 4 C of powdered sugar, and I left out the eggs in the butter mixture. It tasted the same and spread the same. The whole desert was a huge hit with our guests! Delicious!! If I do it again, I'll mix the berries in with half the whipped cream because they become a layer of ice and are hard to slice if you freeze it. Suspended in whipped cream, I think they would cut easier with no change in flavor. I'd top the thing with the other half of whip cream, and then some sliced almonds. You guys should try that recipe! It's deelish! Thanks! Suzi
