Add approximately 2/3 cup of sugar, or until its as sweet as you like it! Chill and serve. It will get less runny as it sits.

This was one of Mom's specialties, and everyone loves it....except me!!! I have to make it for every family function, and it makes me laugh because I don't like it! My kids like it really sweet, so they always have to "Taste Test" for me!
