Join the discussionMade these yesterday! They are wonderful! So easy too.
1 cup of water is too much for the meat to cook. I would put like 1/3 cup next time.
Thanks for the feedback. Let us know how the less water works for you next time!
1 cup of brown sugar made it too sweet for us, I will try 1/3 cup next time
I agree. Next time I will cut the sugar a lot.
