Nashville, NC
Updated on Aug 15, 2012

A bit of fall is in the air. I have fresh pears from the neighbor's tree and one good looking sweet potatoe from my garden that was dug 3 weeks ago. Some good sweet Gala apples too. So time to experiment, here is what I made and it is so very delish. Not friendly for diets but for the mouth watering surprise that awaits you who would even care?
