This was not very good, and I like all of the ingredients in the salad separately. I made it exactly as specified in the recipe and let it marinade for 8 hours in the fridge but it just tastes wrong. The cilantro and mint together are weird.

I made this as written but used apple cider instead of water. I added walnuts as suggested by another reviewer and a pinch of cayenne. I wasn't thrilled with the result that day, or even a few days later but a week or so later I ate this with brie and crackers and it mellowed out and blended wonderfully! I canned this using 8 oz jelly jars and a boiling water bath with a processing time of 10 minutes (per the Ball canning recommendations for a similar cranberry chutney recipe). The chopped apple loses some of its texture after canning but the recipe as a whole remains wonderful.

These were just ok. They didn't rise very high in the pan, but the texture was good. I had measured using a scale to make sure I had half the mixture for the brownies and half for the pumpkin but the finished product tasted pretty much all pumpkin. I barely had enough brownie batter to spread a thin layer on the bottom. If I decide to try this again I'll do 2/3 base batter for brownie and 1/3 base batter for pumpkin.
