I used chopped apricot kernels rather than walnuts because I didn't have walnuts to hand. I also mixed strawberries with the rhubarb because I didn't grow up with rhubarb and am wearing training wheels 'til I get up to speed. :)Megan Lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12426192382055197953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2819270143119857602.post-62686995865957800062009-03-25T08:46:00.000+00:002009-03-25T08:46:00.000+00:00Hi Megan- Sorry for the omission - can't believe i...Hi Megan- Sorry for the omission - can't believe it's taken this time for someone to spot it!
