Personal Notes:
"A traditional Upper Peninsula of Michigan treat! Complete with rutabaga! I am from the UP and this is the real deal! Rub pasties with a little milk for a golden color." This recipe came from the Lutz relatives from Calumet, MI.
Grandma said that Aunt Celia said that whatever meat was left over from the night before was used in the pasties and then prepared for the men to take in their lunch the next day to go work in the copper mines in Northern Michigan.
