I have made this several times and enjoy it very much. I used a ginger paste,and …since I didn’t have grou d cloves, I used a “pie spice” which has cloves,nutmeg,and cinnamon in it. I still added additional cinnamon.I used the maple syrup and the coconut oil. It is easy to make,and I appreciate that you shared this recipe. Thank you!,( for readers of this post:Give it a try! )
