This was very good!! I had dark raisins in the pantry so I used those and it added a little sweetness to this. Very pleased with the results. The original recipe stated that it serves 16 as an appetizer... no way... we got 4 to possibly 6 servings out of this sized recipe. If you are going to try to serve more I would at least double it.
