I get a distinct pumpkin flavor that is dry with a touch of vanilla.

Still not tooooo sweet, but could go a little drier.<BR/><BR/>That's been my impression with a couple of other batches, too - I bottle them and think they're not very sweet, but then when I taste them later, they are fairly sweet. i can't come up with a logical explanation for it, though.tatgeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385066457650823824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866830108358988252.post-74275497054504021872008-11-26T09:54:00.000-08:002008-11-26T09:54:00.000-08:00That looks like a good recipe!
