I was looking for the amounts on the ingredients from my grandma's old recipe. This was very close to her's. I lowered the sugar to 4 cups the first batch and to 3 (with Splenda) the second. My huband detests beets and he ate two pieces of toast and jelly for breakfast...won't be telling him anytime soon. Thanks for the recipe, it brings back a lot of memories.
