  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>This is a basic flan recipe made from whole foods (no sweetened condensed milk here).  I eliminated the sugar in the flan itself and used maple syrup instead of the caramelized white sugar for a less processed topping.</p>]]>

  <instructions>
    <![CDATA[<ol>
	<li>Heat milk in a saucepan just to a boil.</li>
		<li>Beat eggs.  Slowly add half of the hot milk to eggs to temper.  Then add egg/milk mixture back into the saucepan with milk.   Stir constantly until you start to see bubbles forming.  Do not let it boil.</li>
		<li>Remove from heat.  Add stevia and vanilla.  Pour into 6 ramekins in a hot water bath.  Bake in 350 oven for 1 hour.</li>
		<li>When ready to serve, top flan with 1 T. maple syrup to each ramekin.</li>
