What can you substitute for the berries…ifusing pureed fruit, approx how much?

Hi Amy,
Adding pureed fruit will change the liquid amount in the recipe. You could try adding a half cup of the apple juice instead of the 3/4 cup and a 1/4 cup of the pureed fruit instead of the 1 1/2 cups of strawberries. If you would like to just use different fruit, then keep the recipe as is and you can add blueberries,raspberries, blackberries, any kind of fruit you would like. You can also add 2 kinds of fruit my splitting the 1 1/2 cups , for example you can add 1 cup blueberries and 1/2 cup raspberries. Hope this helps you!
