Notes

 

Best Of Show - Michigan State fair - 2002 I took the last runnings and boiled them in a seperate smaller vessel, the added all the Extras as noted aboce. Once I stirred in the Coriander, I dumped the pot into the main boil vessel for the last 5 minutes. Gets better with age (6-12 months optimum).
