Best recipe EVER! Easy to make & the kids, all of them love it. I have to make this again. If you can add canning instructions for the more ignorant of us, so I can preserve some for later on, that would be awesome, but while the season lasts...I could make a gallon of these every day & they'd be eaten just as quickly. Thank you for an awesome recipe! :)
