    This did not come out to be 10 cups--more like 6 after it is cooked, so adjust the calorie count. It was probably the pumpkin I used or the cider mix, but mine had a unpleasant flavor. I will try with canned pumpkin next time and see. Easy to make--thanks for sharing it!! - 9/26/09

    I think you'll have better luck with the canned pumpkin, as you'll not need to let it boil down quite so much. Certainly keep tweaking it, as I love mine every year! Best of luck!
