In addition to my last post, could the blueberries or any other fruit for that matter, simply be left out without effecting the quality of the recipe?

This sounds divine! I'm wondering if raspberries or any other kind of fruit may be substituted here. I'm not a big fan of blueberries but I would like to give this recipe a try.
