was delicious, although I left out the orange, and "pre soaked" a combination of light and dark raisins in the cider on low heat for about an hour or so before adding everything... minus a cup and half of the sugar... then slow cooked all for several hours to absorb the flavoring and spices before finally baking.Reply

It's really tasty although three cups of sugar is excessive. I cut that to 1 cup and it was still plenty sweet. I added 2 Tbsp of rum and subbed half the raisins for a mixture of diced prunes, dried cherries and cranberries. I did half of a naval orange since another reviewer said it came through a bit strong but I think a whole orange would have been OK too. I also used some firm pears in place of a couple of the apples. Would definitely make again.1Reply
