"Recipe from "the travelin' gourmet" (I was unsure about the total cooking time or prep time because I have never made this before, so I approximated.)"

Well, since I begged for this recipe to be posted I figured I'd better get around to reviewing it! I made these last night but I didn't have the sherry so I had to omit it and I didn't add water because I baked them rather than making them on the stovetop. I also added 1/4 tsp garlic powder and 1/4 tsp ground ginger since I had no fresh gingerroot. I baked them at 350' for 1 hour. They were so simple and really delicious! But I made a mistake and put all the sauce on them before baking them. I should have reserved some to put on them the last 15-20 minutes they were in the oven. Next time I'll know better. ;) Thank's so much for posting! It's one I will definately make again!
