From justjakesmom 15 years ago
- 40 minutes to make
- Serves 6
This is something my sister has been making for years, and I've always loved it, so today when we had a little family luncheon and she served this, I snagged the recipe. She can't remember where she got it - she thinks from one of those little booklets years ago. Read more Didn't have my camera or I would have taken a pic - makes a beautiful presentation. Delicious too!! See less
Ingredients
