LOVE this recipe!! I added toasted almond slivers (substituted for the sunflower kernels which I didn't have on hand), and about a tablespoon of minced fresh ginger. Delicious!! Did forget to add the sugar, but it was still great. Will remember the sugar next time and it may even be better, if possible!
