I made this a few weeks ago for a family BBQ and it was a BIG hit! I used graham cracker crumbs to make the crust. Make sure to line the loaf pan with foil, as this helps it to come out easily. I quickly figured out that you could use almost any type of fruit to make this and it would still be super yummy! I'm going to make it again for Memorial Day, but I think I'm going to use peaches or mandarin oranges, with the graham crust. UPDATE: Me & my big ideas! I made this for a third time, using mandarin oranges as I had threatened to do before. It didn't come out so well, but I think I know why: using a lg. can of the oranges, I did drain the liquid but I think they needed to be drained AGAIN after mashing. The flavor was terrific and after about a full day, it was completely frozen, but that was just the leftovers--we ate it without the fancy topping, anyway, and it was a bit more like a really oold, yogurt consistency but still very, very tasty. So, I think I will do it again, with a double draining for any type of canned fruit that I might use.
