LATEST ADVICE
Great recipes. Would it be a good idea to point out that frozen berries need to be heated because we are told that is safer.

Hi Philippa
Thank you for your comment. You are correct, the advice is to heat berries if they are from a source that might be less safe. NZ-grown berries are fine but some berries from other countries may need heating. We have added a note in the ingredients list to reflect this advice.
Warm regards
