I followed the instruction. I apoligize; actually made this quite a while back and found it on my list of recipes to review. I was concentrating too much on the challenges. Sorry. At any rate it turned out fine for me. I will make it again....far cheaper than going to the grocery store. I did not add the sesame seeds (did not have any, and used a cinnamon stick instead of the ground kind.Also used honey from honey comb I had. I don't think I really changed the recipe (just used what I had on hand. I was one of my last minute decisions to make it and my neighbour was over as well as my aunt so it made for easy work.I didn't stir very often since I did not want to loose the heat. Thanks for the recipe. Leanne
