Hi Rosemary
Can we use frozen berries ?
And I donโt have apricots at the moment, I think I will leave them out.
It do you have an alternative, maybe dried apricots.
Your thoughts ?

Hi L, sure frozen berries should work, just don’t thaw them, and dried apricots would work fine. I actually used nectarines, even peaches would be good. Hope that helps.
This looks like a perfect summer recipe! I need to make this for my family!
Thanks Lauren, I hope you and your family enjoy it.
