I made this for my family's Thanksgiving dinner desert. Gotta say it went over really well. Now, a few "technical" details. The instructions call for salt but there is none listed in the ingredients list. I added a pinch just to bring out the spices a little better and it was good. I also added some dried cranberries that I chopped...about a half cup. I also candied some chopped pecans and put them on top of the whole thing. I agree with the submitter...there really isn't anything "light" about it - but with a taste this good who cares?
