I'm not a fan of sugar alternatives like Sweet 'n Lo, b/c they do dissolve easily, but to me they leave a gross after-taste. This was a happy medium and I'm really glad I got it - it's delicious! Just the perfect amount of sweet for me (I don't have a sweet tooth) and also creamy and great consistancy. It's going to remain a pantry staple from now on in my kitchen!Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02170704307873703753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-1760499062512426372009-09-22T23:38:18.962-05:002009-09-22T23:38:18.962-05:00If it was me, that wooden spoon would be used to e...If it was me, that wooden spoon would be used to eat out of the jar!;-) (When nobody's looking of course)<br /><br />That's so cool you used agave.

Also, it is supposed to be great to dissolve in drinks both hot and cold, so I opted for it so the sugar wouldn't be gritty! Sorry! Next time! :)<br /><br />Justin - some recipes I googled around w/ had a bunch of diff. hard liquors to add in. None mentioned Brandy except Wikipedia's article on sangrias. It was one of the few we actually have on hand (for egg nog in the winter) so I went w/ it!! It was great!Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02170704307873703753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-81658896279168112812009-09-22T16:03:38.508-05:002009-09-22T16:03:38.508-05:00Darnit - I wished I would have asked - most sangri...Darnit - I wished I would have asked - most sangrias have sugar in them, so that's why I passed.<br /><br />It looked so pretty too!biz319http://biz319.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-64519350346995208642009-09-22T12:41:01.761-05:002009-09-22T12:41:01.761-05:00the brandy is interesting -- i don't think i've he...the brandy is interesting -- i don't think i've heard of that beforeJustinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18109997692267088407noreply@blogger.com
