I absolutely love this recipe. It is the best comfort food on a cold winter morning (not that we are dealing with that now but, oh, it will come!) You can do more or less sugar depending on your sweet tooth and whatever fruit sounds good to you. I like the amount I use because it is just sweet enough to be great by itself, but not sickly sweet. In fact the recipe I got this from called for 1 cup of sugar...but it was way too much in my opinion and I altered several other things to our likeness!! I like the combination. This is great to make the day before and then you can have it for two or three mornings. Now that I have a kindergartener, I think I will make it more because it keeps them fuller, longer!
