Personal Notes:
This is an approximation of a recipe made by the Wiebe family. There are other variations. Grandma Wiebe made it when we visited the farm, and she also made it with prunes and apricots. Of course, she never measured anything, and I never saw her make it. Because they had dairy cows, they always had a supply of fresh cream.
