Absolutely LOVED it... and you're not kidding about it being "spi-cy"! ;) I used the conversion tool for 2 half-pints (1 pint) to see how it would work. I didn't have cider vinegar, but the balsamic that I had, worked wonderfully with the other ingredients. Also... I was too lazy to cook it for 2 hours! (Instead, I nuked it for about 30 minutes, stirring every once in awhile. After a few minutes of standing, it was perfect.) I was also too impatient to let it cool, and slapped a bit on my veggie burger at dinner... YUM! I might just go for the whole 4 pints next time I make it, 'cause the 1 pint isn't going to last long around here! :) Thanks SO much for sharing this awesome recipe!
