Picked this recipe this morning and doubled it to take to a neighborhood gathering. Everyone want the recipe. It made a big hit and was wonderful even when it cooled off. Some people though it was dessert. M. Hazelton NH

YAY! I'm so glad I found this recipe. My mom used to make it for Easter and Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners and everyone loves it. When she passed away I couldn't find the recipe anywhere, and now here it is! Thank you so much!
