We are trying to eliminate salt from our diet and this recipe tastes great without any added salt

It needs more cinnamon for sure. Otherwise it was very good.

I made this last night to go with barbecued spareribs. It was so easy and tasted fantastic with the ribs -- my husband quickly declared it a "keeper"!
