Personal Notes:
Mother's (Aunt Sue's) recipe from her book. It takes two people to do the icing so it was my job to melt the sugar and stir. We get together and make it every Christmas. It never turns out the same but Mother's didn't either. Never made a bad one and you always serve with boil custard.
