This was delicious! I did make it a little differently. I forgot the sugar so I added a couple of tablespoons to the sauce after it was already in the slow cooker. Also, in lieu of the additional spices, I added a package of dry Italian salad dressing mix. Followed others advise and added some baby carrots as well. Those carrots were like candy, addicting! So good. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe.

This was a very tasty, moist cake and was a hit at a recent picnic. Good news for those who have a hard time finding blackberry gelatin, Jello brand has started selling a "Blackberry Fusion" flavor (Summer '07) which is a mix of blackberry and raspberry. I used that and it turned out great! None of the stores in our area sell the Royal brand of gelatin so I was very happy to see Jello's new flavor. After reading many negative reviews for the glaze I opted to brush the warm cake with warmed blackberry preserves, which added a nice flavor. Thanks for the delicious recipe!

Like shortbread cookies, butter cookies are made without baking powder or baking soda. They are supposed to be a crunchy, buttery cookie. Perhaps that is the reason for the previous reviewers problems with the recipe.
