Notes
SJ Note 22 Oct 2009: This was good. The sauce recipe that originally came with it burnt before being thick enough to use. Wish it was more lemony.
SJ Note 31 Aug 2017: Decent, not very sweet. Not lemony enough. Maybe a lemon glaze next time. Blueberries fell entirely to bottom. Troubleshoot next time.
