Red, White & Blue Trifle

     This is so light and yummy!  I will admit, when I first decided to try this recipe, I wasn't so sure about it.  It sounded way too simple and easy to be good.  I took it over to the family cookout for Labor Day, and everyone loved it!  The tartness of the blueberries makes it.  I also thought it would be great to substitute fresh peaches for the blueberries and strawberries.  The ideas are endless.  Even a chocolate version would be good. Hmmmmmm.....gonna have to try that next.  Hope you enjoy!
