My mother made this when I was a little girl growing up. She & I were the only ones who liked it so she didn't make it very often. Well ... mom is gone and I thought the recipe was too. I thought I would see if I could fine it online and thanks to you, I did!. Thank you so much for posting it! :)

This recipe is very rich in flavor so it's best to make it when you have folks to share it with.
