"I tried this recipe months back and have been using it ever since. I too found it just a bit strong and so have modified the sugar amount to please the taste buds better. I add 2 - 3 Tblsp. of sugar instead of the recipe amount. I also crumble the sausage as I would hamburger and I use the sweet italian sausage. Everyone comes backs for seconds. Add the spices last for the best flavor. Thanks for a great recipe!"
