Reviews
This was an utter fail. I wasted all the ingredients by making this. My husband, daughter and I couldn’t even eat it. The cloves were beyond overpowering- like you’re eating a Christmas pine cone without the crunch. The result was a syrupy overly sweet mess. I feel like I’ve been punked. I’m sorry to be a downer but I need to let the public know!!!
I made this for a dinner party and was very pleased with the results. I followed the recipe exactly (expect I tripled it), and the result was perfection! Very flavorful and beautiful too! This is a keeper!
I cooked this recipe according to the directions. I served it as a side dish along with one of the pork tenderloin recipes.
Just tried this recipe and its great! It was a great compliment to my baked ham! I used fresh green beans. Will make this again!
Update: Cut back on the sugar, and it still tastes great! Everyone enjoyed this dish. Next time I will cut back on the sugar and see how it tastes. I used fresh green beans instead of frozen.
This recipe was a hit at my 2008 Thanksging meal and has been requested again this year.
