I was very surprised. We used 4 very fine minced habaneros and did not soak them in the milk. They are very tasty and everyone who we shared these with loved them. You definitely feel the tingle at the back of the throat but for me it was not uncomfortable. Other people who do not do heat at all did not like that part but still liked the flavor of the cookie. To give you a marker my heat level is a mild to low medium. Thank you for a great recipe.

I had a ton of apples and decided to try this recipe. It was delicious. My house smelled wonderful and I gave some away to friends and they all loved it. I had never cared much for apple butter before this. Thank you.

I made this because I did not want to use any pectin. It turned out great. I gave some away as gifts and am now making more so I can have plenty on hand as I do not want to buy jam from the store after this. It turned out perfect. The first day I had it over vanilla ice cream and I am going to put it on cheesecake next. Thank you for a great and easy recipe.
