Notes: When I was growing up my grandmother used to make this for all the holidays. The house smells heavenly while it's cooking. We ate it for breakfast, dessert, and when it got a day or 2 old (not often since it was usually gone by then) my Mom used to make toast out of it for breakfast. ENJOY! Happy Holidays!
