A favorite of dad's as long as I can remember. Grandma would have this ready for him when he would come to visit. She would also have this available for Christmas Dinner as a treat for her whole family. Mom learned how to make this, so I guess I learned how to make it from her. Now a favorite of ours. It is great for family get togethers or at the Holidays.

A wonderful tangy and sweet side dish to accompany any meal.

Harry adds 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds to the bowl and stirs.
