This recipe is on a 3x5 card in my recipe box, written in pencil in my sister Janet's handwriting. The recipe was given to her by a woman she worked with over 25 years ago. I hadn't made it in years, but a few years ago made it for Thanskgiving and now my family considers it a "must-have" traditional Thanksgiving and Easter dish.
