Mmmm... this sounds so good! You probably need fresh raspberries for this to be best though, right? Frozen is about all i can get right now... might have to wait until summer to try this recipe.

Thanks for sharing...

Hi Grumblebee,
I've only used the fresh, but, since they do have a liqueur on them why could'nt you try using frozen if you drain them a bit..I'll try them sometime and see. Glad you like the recipe.
