Made up a batch of this and it's real tasty and looks just like Bruce's pic. One suggestion for others who make it would be to add the sugar a little at a time to your taste. The full amount is a little sweet to my tastebuds. Thanks for sharing it.

Later add on - the wife decided some avocado would be a good addition and it is.
