This recipe is very tasty with a zing! The only thing I would suggest is making this for half pints as I prepared six jars as required by the recipe and it only filled 2.5 jars...just a suggestion. Thanks

This was very good. It has a nice tang,isn't to sweet and the color is beautiful. You must use pure maple syrup. Do not use imitation. The pure syrup really stands out. I found using an immersion blender was alot easier than transfering to a stand blender/processor. It also made about 7 half-pints not 6.5 pints.
