Sylvia's comments: cook on HIGH? In a crockpot? Then what's the
point? I cooked it all day on LOW and everything was falling apart. I
have a similar recipe that includes apples and brown sugar that I
like better; this is great for someone who favors bitter tastes, I
served it with applesauce which cut the bitterness well and the
result was delicious.
