“To cut to the chase, we both enjoyed this ice cream topping, but Sonia definitely liked it more than I did. It’s sweet and it tastes like, well, pumpkin and caramel. Imagine that. I felt that the pumpkin spices burned my throat on occasion. And I don’t mean they burned my mouth like hot sauce might. I really mean that they tingled excessively in the back of my throat…all that ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon. I found myself coughing while eating this after a number of sauce-rich spoonfuls. But I think the takeaway here isn’t necessarily that this product is too pumpkin-spicey – it’s that you should use it sparingly. A little bit goes a long way. Sonia is always wise in that regard, and she rarely overdoes it with sauces, icings, or frostings. Maybe that’s part of why she liked the product more than I did. But even when I used it in much lesser quantities, it sat very heavy in my stomach, and it just wasn’t my favorite ice cream topping. It’s unique, seasonal, and it certainly doesn’t taste bad…it’s just that it’s not what I would go for in terms of pumpkin ice cream. I’d turn to the Pumpkin Pie Mochis- and I’m still anxious to try the elusive Ginger Pumpkin Mouthfuls- before I’d pick up another $3 jar of this sauce.”
