ReplyDeleteI see this recipe pop up (in various forms) around this time of year each year and I always think it looks so good but I never think to actually make it! I am determined this will be the year. Pinned.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother used to make this when I was little, many times for church socials or large family gatherings. It was definitely a favorite!
