Note: This recipe is one my mom started using & has been used by all of my family members on all sides of the family (including great-aunts/uncles-grandparents-nieces/nephews-cousins-step whatever's etc... ) for at least 40 yrs - don't know where it originated, but I know it spreads like wildfire. If you make it, take the time to print several copies of the recipe for people to keep.
