    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       12/23/2018   I’ve been making this for years, always get rave reviews and asked for the recipe. Of course, I always credit Martha who has taught me so much! I add sliced almonds folded in at the end because the first time I had it the hostess served it that way.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/21/2011   A friend brought this for dinner and i made the Quinoa-and-Apple Salad with Curry Dressing. They are amazing together. A plain green vegetable is all that is needed for a wonderful dinner.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/14/2007   I made this for a holiday pot luck at work and received several compliments. It's relatively simple to make, the cinnamon and cloves give off a wonderful aroma, and the raisins balance out the flavors nicely.
