DH and I both loved these. I used Splenda Brown Blend in half the amount ask for and golden raisins and just followed the recipe. I should also say that this can be made a bit ahead I cooked everything to almost the point of adding the brown sugar and then sat the pot aside (covered) for about an hr. When I was ready to finish it up I just reheated, added the Splenda Brown and cooked for about a minute. YUM!

We like...but had to adjust as 1/4 cup butter is just too much for me. Subbed butter with a nice broth and changed the cooking method a bit by first caramelizing the onions with the sugar, then adding other ingredients and cooking. Very Nice!
