JG saved that one. Looked to good to pass up. Have you tried it yet? CF

Have not tried it but the site it came from had dozens of great reviews on it. I do plan to try it soon. Jon won't eat apples so I would have to take his Dad most of it.

Janie, how about using pears? Does Jon like pears? Yeah, I know I think to much. I like pears better than apples. CF

Jon does not eat any fruit. He will drink a tangerine - orange juice mix I get him but he won't actually eat either fruit. He says it is a texture thing. I had thought about maybe shredding the apple for the recipe and seeing if I could sneak it past him that way. He will eat applesauce spice cake.
