Excellent! I decreased the sugar to 3/4 cup white sugar and 3/4 cup brown sugar and it was plenty sweet. I used the larger amounts of cinnamon and cloves.

This recipe is a 5-star rating!!!! When I rated it I pressed the wrong star. I contacted the magazine to try to change this and they said I could not. I am so sorry. Truly, this recipe is a 5!!!!
