I tried this recipe when dealing with a glut of carrots As I could not find carrot juice, I substituted apple juice. The recipe works up until the point when the apple/carrot juice is added I followed the amount but it was just too much. Maybe 75ml would have been enough. I had to boil it to death to get rid of the excess liquid Had a taste test today. Now it's clear I'm going to have to make it again. As recommended, it goes very well with cheese
