Oh, PJ, you've done it again!!! Unfortunately, here in Florida we have to rely on supermarket fruit - small baskets at HUGE prices, but this recipe is definitely one I'll print off and add to my collection! We can, however, buy Marshmallow Fluff, even the strawberry variety! Me, I'm partial to the plain stuff..........and ONLY Fluff, not Kraft Marshmallow Creme!! When it comes to apples, I usually stick with Granny Smith, a reliable, year-round variety here, but the apples pictured at the beginning of this blog made my mouth water! Will be in Massachusetts in a little over a week to attend my 50th high school reunion, so may just take advantage of the availability of fresh, local apples. With an eye towards my Thanksgiving pie baking, am also hoping to buy my supply of Grandmother's Mincemeat which used to be made in Natick, MA but is now produced by a British conglomerate.......still tastes the same, though. Hey, Sue, you don't need to use berries here - how about diced peaches? Or pears, or apples? Dried apricots? Cranberries wold be WONDERFUL, speaking of Thanksgiving. I think any number of fruits would do well in this cake. As for Grandmother's - I've seen it in the store forever, but have never tried it. Considering your recommendation, this may be the year. And Fluff - from Lynn, Mass. - take a look at their Web site, and click on the "jingles" at bottom left for some vintage Fluff songs... "First you spread spread spread, your bread with peanut butter..." :) PJH
