I made this for fellow bridge players and they all thought it was perfect for the cold day we had. I served it with pound cake.

This is a recipe my family does like, and will be making again. It's a keeper, for sure.

This makes an interesting side dish...not the usual side. It is a nice compliment to other sides and the main meat dish. I have used a recipe similar to this, but doctored up a bit. For a richer (but less healthy version) add butter. Use 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter or one stick, 1T corn starch and if you feel daring, 1 teaspoon curry. Mash this together and spoon over drained fruit in a crock pot. You could also just add 1 t. curry to above recipe to spice it up and keep it healthy. This dish is an acquired taste....you are either a fan of it or you are not. Unfortunately, this is just not a hit with my family, even when we use butter and curry!
