I used fresh blueberries and cherry preserves (what I had on hand). Whole milk would've made it better but we only had 1% in the fridge. Oh well, still good and filling. I really liked the addition of the toasted pecans.

This was very tasty. I omitted the nuts and used fresh blueberries and pineapple preserves.

I've made this recipe a dozen times already. It's so versatile. I've made it with and without the flax, lemon rind, and nuts. I just use whatever flavor jelly and any nuts/seeds I have on hand.
