Just made this to use in the KA Apple Crisp recipe. Used an enameled cast iron Dutch oven. Was in the kitchen the whole time - as it only took about 3.5 hours. I used the chop stick, though a slightly different method. After marking the Full pot on the chop stick, I used a ruler to mark 1/8 of original volume. That said, I stopped a bit befor my 1/8 mark because both the color and the flavor were amazing. The taste is stunning. Rich as a liquor w/o any burn. Only better. Added 1 t cardamom seeds as the spice. I don’t taste that “on top,” but since I’ve never tasted it without, not sure I know. In any event, DO THIS! I think I will make more fore hostess gifts (though I hate to sare this “secret ingredient!’ Thanks again to KA for lifting my baking up to the next level.
