I live in the UK could you please text me what shortening Is?
Hi! Shortening is a semi-solid type of fat, you can also use applesauce in its place as a healthier alternative. 🙂
Could blackberries be substituted for the blueberries? We always have a lot of blackberries from our garden and am looking for new ways to use them!
Yes!! You can use blackberries in place of the blueberries 🙂
