Notes

Judy Shortsleeve, our Business Manager, received this recipe in an L.L. Bean order many years ago—it was a favorite recipe of an L.L. Bean employee. I make this often and substitute other berries for the blueberries. Raspberries are very good and you can replace the vanilla with almond extract. This recipe also appeared in the 2013 Cape Cod LIFE Annual Guide.
