    Notes

    How to substitute ingredients: Sometimes, you won't be able to find one of these ingredients at the store. (Or you will, but it will be sad.) Feel free to swap out what you can't find for another fruit that sounds good to you.
    Save leftovers in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
