This year I made a third of the recipe just so I could share it with all of you. I was able to make 8 muffins. Perfect for a little dessert treat after dinner. I really like this fruit topping. It is very light and colorful. Perfect for any Mardi Gras celebration you might have. I hope you all enjoyed a little Mardi Gras fun this year.
