  1. I really loved this after adding a light sprinkle of Splenda. It was all there flavor wise but I thought that it needed just s touch of sweet to enhance the apricot, cinnamon and allspice. I didn't have the fresh basil but would love to try it when summer comes around. This was very much enjoyed :D.
