My mom made the jam variation when I visited her last week with the family, my kids loved them! She makes a tomatillo jelly that tasted incredible in this mix, I "borrowed" a jar and copied the recipe so I can make more myself. I'm looking forward to trying some of the other variations, too. Thanks for posting! I was going to add this recipe, but found yours first :)
