  1. The photo made me nervous that mine looked different, but it tasted right and everyone asked for the link.

  2. Made it once with the cheapest version of everything and once with the best I could find. Same method, noticeably different result. Worth spending on the one or two things that carry the flavour.

  3. Less sweet than the supermarket version and much better for it.

  4. Made it the day ahead, which the recipe allows for, and it was all the better for the wait. I had been nervous about the proportions and there was no need.
