Ending a sentence with 'accordingly'?

I am freshman student at city college taking basic English 091 and I'm writing an essay. My question, can I end a sentence with a conjunctive adverb?

I realized that this recipe would not suffice; accordingly, I adjusted the ingredients.

In my opinion, when you put "accordingly" at the end, it doesn't function as a conjunctive adverb. This is not to say the sentence isn't perfectly fine.
