I have made this recipe for years and it is a winner. It takes a lot of manual labor and technique to make, but it's well worth it. I usually just round up the crumb on top and sprinkle it all over the top, but I doubled the recipe and had to cook the sausage and make the almond pieces for the cookie cutters in the oven. I only needed to make one change, and that was to add garlic powder to the sausage. I got 10 hours of service. YUM!

I made this with a pasta that I quite liked - it was not spaghetti, but it was close. I mashed an extra cup of berries, I used the strawberries in the cup of blueberries, and I cooked a tsp of vanilla essence in the warm water before adding the rest of the fruit. My first attempt was certainly fruit-y, but not quite what I was looking for. The next time I make this, I would certainly look for a "real" fruit - perhaps a blueberry, peach, or pear? Only time will tell.

I added more peanut butter and chocolate chips, but otherwise the recipe is the same. It is a great way to use those hard little pears you can't eat!
