Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is a repeat recipe from the original recipe book. It was a holiday specialty of our Great Grandmother Mary Bird Kelly. I did not know about it or remember it. Aunt Carolee told me all about it when I went to visit her in Colorado. She said they had it every Christmas. Most special is, I found the recipe in her recipe box in Grandma Carolyn Whittlesey's handwriting. I took the time to compare to Great Grandmother Kelly's recipe - and they are a wee bit different in proportions!
