This is a favorite recipe that I received from one of our favorite bed and breakfasts. It was served for breakfast one morning and from the first taste, I knew I had to have the recipe and bake it at home. I realize the ingredients are incorporated in a slightly strange order, but this is how the recipe is written so I didn't ask any questions! :-) I have also used blackberry and strawberry jam. I would think any flavor would work.
