Introduction
This is by J. Curry, May 1999. Cannot find nutritional info for it on the web so am entering it. It is light, very tastey. It is not a dessert you'd bring to a dessert table as the stronger flavors would overwhelm this, but it is wonderful when it is the highlight itself.Note: nutritional info is done with Splenda brown sugar blend to the best approximation I could manage. Purists, ignore the substitute without comment, and just know some of us need it. This is by J. Curry, May 1999. Cannot find nutritional info for it on the web so am entering it.
