    This recipe is sooo good! I did make some small changes. I didnt add cinnamon. I wasn't a fan with the cinnamon added. I also added a very small amount of habernero peppers. Like 1/4 to a half of a habernero. My husband likes a whole one, however its way to hot for me. Other than that this recipe is a success with family!
