Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This fool was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still a good dessert. I think I'll try making it with less sugar next time.

This fool was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I used sour cherries. Next time I'll use a sweeter variety.

I would have liked the fool to be a bit sweeter, but that's easily fixed with a little extra sugar. Other than that, it was a delicious dessert.

The fool was a bit runny for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try making it again with less milk next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more spices or a more flavorful fruit.
