That's okay, Stewie. I'm not sure that I'll try it again, although the recipe still does intrigue me and I would be curious to find out what this actually tastes like. Thank you for your explanations, anyway. -
First, when the recipe was changed, it did not update correctly--hopefully it should be correct now. It is one half cup butter. You use one sleeve--that also was in the original--somehow changed. I always thought boiling was only one temperature-you put it on high until it bubbles then you watch it so that it doesn't burn while it continues to bubble for three minutes as it thickens,turning down the heat slightly if necessary. The mixture does thicken some, but it is not unmanageable. This is the recipe that a caterer gave me 10 years ago and I have always had wonderful results following it exactly, as have the many people I've given it to. I am sorry that it did not work out for you.

I now live in southeast Michigan, but have lived overseas a couple of times (in the South Pacific, and in Asia). My family loves to try new foods and has very few dislikes so I am lucky. We love to travel (lately in Europe and the Caribbean) and I have collected recipes and spices wherever we go.
