we had this for thanksgiving dinner. it was very good! i used turbinado for the sugar, and it was a good level of sweetness. i did have to cook it for twenty minutes before it was thick enough. i don't know if it was the change in sugar or the high altitude (i'm in denver), but it tasted wonderful and did thicken in the end.Reply
