It was... awful. In all my reviews this is only the second one in my 3 years with zaar that I've given 1 star. The flavors do NOT mix and it was just plan gross. I didn't taste enough of it for texture or anything else. Just 1 teaspoon for each person in my house yielded the "EW YUCK" reaction!!

Although I haven't tried this recipe yet, a quick read of the ingredients makes me think that scooter the bear might have a good point. (I'm not sure if the lemon and rum flavorings would mix well). It is however a great idea for the crock pot, so I think I will substitute either vanilla or butter extract for the lemon and leave out the raisins. Hopefully it will taste more like butter rum...YUM! I will update my review with the results.

This was just terrible tasting!The rum and vanilla and lemon and nutmeg/cinnamon just didn't combine well. It did gel wonderfully, texture was nice, but no one in the house wanted more after gagging down the initial serving except me, and I am just too scotch to throw it away.Sorry, but my advice is, uh-uh.
