Engrossed's Note:

I received this recipe from a co-worker. She loves it. I haven't tried it yet. The ingredients seem interesting. She says it has a wonderful aroma and sweet flavor. A written quote from her "This is a great one, very "comfy" on a cold morning or afternoon!"

This really was an aromatic dish, and sweet too. I halved this recipe and it still gave alot to feed for my family. I like having raisins in this dish, and it was very filling in the end.
