This is an old, old family recipe that has been passed down through generations. My grandmother used to make it back in the late 1940s and early 1950s. My mom made it throughout my childhood in the 1960s and ’70s, then I started making it for my own family—and now my daughter makes it for her fiancé.
That’s how you know a recipe is special. ❤️ It’s simple, fresh, flavorful, and has the kind of homemade taste that never goes out of style.
