Ooh, sounds great, would substituting the honey for agave mess up the recipe do you think?

Oh that picture! I'm such a sucker for a pretty food pic (YES!!!! I'm a gastroporn addict LMAO) Lovely recipe - no raisins! Hmmmmm....just wondering, if I leave out the pineapple, would it affect the outcome? I am definitely gonna try this. Great recipe, thanks for sharing.
