Even though I chose to make this recipe (actually I halved it), I had a feeling it'd taste too sweet, but happily I was wrong! It is sweet, but the garlic & lemon blended right in to make this very great tasting! Thanks for sharing! Definitely a keeper! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's PAC]
