This sounds great. Would be a great special dinner for Fall Dinners (Pumpkin, Cranberry and acorn squash). Looking forward to 4th of July. Already have my pork loin marinating, my ice cream pies made and frozen Picking Blueberries and Blackberries tomorrow for the salads and fruit tarts. Family, Friends and good times.
