Notes: This is one recipe of my grandmother Jennie Christina Nelson.
Jennie was born 6 Jan 1887 in Hyde Park, Cache Co. UT - the daughter of John Alfred Nelson and Rosella Ann Seamons
My mother died when I was 4 (almost 5) 6 weeks after the birth of my sister, Karen. Grandma Jennie did so much in helping with the upbringing of me and my sister.
Jennie was 4'11", weighing 98 pounds when she was married to Ernest Clifford Sant. She was hard working, loving and kind. She nursed her husband through liver damage brought on by alcohol dependency for years before he died. We lived with her then and I can't begin to tell you the hours she spent taking care of him, not tirelessly by any means, but faithfully. I loved my grandma dearly for who she was and her work ethics and values. She was married to grandpa in the Temple but were not active and hung onto old habits of drinking coffee, etc. Still she taught us fairness, and compassion for others. She fed many a transient who came by looking for whatever work they could do for a meal.
