Oh my! I found the instructions a bit confusing and so as I was making this I thought perhaps it would get a 3-star rating - if it tasted good. :) When I took the first bite and tasted the wonderful flavor explosion I changed my mind. This is marvelous! The subtle blend of the orange and cinnamon blend with the tomato to make a very pleasing and exciting flavor. It has just a hint of cayenne for bite. I loved it!! Clean up the directions so they are easier to follow and I will be more than happy to come back and change my rating to 5 stars!!!! Thanks for posting this Larry!!!!
