    This was okay. A little too much vinegar for us. - 2/20/21

    I made this as well. I didn't find it too spicy and the vinegar was overpowering. I added a bit of sugar to offset the sour, but next time (if there is a next time) I will reduce the amount of vinegar by at least half. - 2/17/11

    Made this for my husband. He wanted hot and he got it!! The only change he wants me to make is the vinegar. Says to try about 1/2 the suggested amount. (I may have made it, but he's a lot better at choosing spices and qty than I am)
    Very tasty. Will make it again. - 1/9/10

    I am so glad you both liked it. It definitely is not for the faint of heart when it comes to the heat scale!
