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.
