The recipe called it Moroccan? LOL. I didn't make it up. I have had this
recipe for nigh on 10 years and enjoy pulling it out now and then.
Cheap, quick, vegetarian, lovely to look at and declicious!

I was a little surprised by the exceptional quality of these berries.
The farm is upcountry South Carolina and they've been selling for a week
or so here. Is $10/gallon steep for prepicked berries? I dunno? Not a
one of them were less than perfect and none I've tasted so far have been
too tart or underripe. The ice wine was just perfect with them and the
juices combined ended up tasting like the a delightful champagne punch
or something? I had paid about $25 for the ice wine and didn't really
like this one for sipping, so it gives me a nice way to enjoy it and use
it up.
