While it is cooking we add a little cinnamon and brown sugar. (I grew up putting the sugar on top once it was in my bowl). It is so good, and we avoid the discussions with Ada about whether she has enough sugar or needs more. (Raisins and bananas are our current add ons, stone fruit is good in season.)nonlineargirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05414675024101618604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-64321931237756912702009-01-16T16:58:00.000-05:002009-01-16T16:58:00.000-05:00Just as a side note:I make a batch on Sunday and p...Just as a side note:<BR/><BR/>I make a batch on Sunday and put it in the fridge in one-cup servings.

And I'm sure that has nothing to do with the bucket of cream, the pound of butter and the jar of maple syrup we pour on it, nope.
