This comes straight from the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving that I bought this year pg 131. Text copyright 2006 Jarden Corp. I made this and after tasting,and made 2 more batches. We recently had another couple over and I had a cheese tray. It was served over an 8 oz block of cream cheese (how simple is that) with crispy wheat crackers. We woofed the whole thing down, and I made ANOTHER batch. The picture is my own, see how pretty it is?
