Great recipe. I made a batch of this last night so that it has time to age/mellow and then use them in my Christmas gift baskets. I doubled the cinnamon and added a bit of fresh grated nutmeg as well. It made about 9 1/2 pint jars.

Rita, thank you so much for giving us a jar of this wonderful treat while visiting with you and your family over the Christmas holidays last year. We used it on waffles, and also for Recipe #263222. It is so yummy we will have to make some ourselves!
