A very astute user of the Jambalaya Calculator has just brought to my attention a basic error in the calculation for the amount of soup base. All this time, the formula was using quarts when it should have been using cups of water. So the amount of soup base recommended was 1/4 of what it should have been.

The mistake has been corrected and the new version, 7.2 can now be downloaded HERE.

If it was using quarts instead of cups then the amount of soup base was 4x what it should have been.

I think what he was saying is that there was a calculation based on quarts that lead to the 1/4 instead of 4. It's possible depending on how the math was set up.

This.

It was supposed to be 1/3 Tbs of base per cup, not per quart.

Luckily, that error's not going to ruin anybody's jambalaya, it just might not be as tasty as it could have been.
