Thanks.. The cinnamon and lemon rind sounds like it would be good in
the blueberry.. which is my favorite..
At some time I'd like to get a good recipe from you for home made
blueberry topping.. Home made may be twice the price though than
this.. (yes I'm a tightwad) I get this for about $3.30 a can..
Here's my Current late night project..
4 key lime cheesecakes in the 7 and 8 inch cake pans.. 2 of each..
