    Does the red food coloring stain the jar?


  • Haagen Feb 09, 2015

    Do you offer any healthy recipes?? U should consider it…


  • Charlie Wheeler Feb 10, 2015

    That’s probably from the cheese and the buttermilk. You might try low-fat buttermilk, and use a lower-fat cheese with a similar taste. You could also sub out some of the butter with an oil such as sunflower oil, which is sweet.
