Personal Notes:
This recipe was given to me by my mother in law, Corrine Mixson. She made it every Christmas and it was always our favorite. One day as the Holiday's approached I asked her for her recipe and she went to her recipe box and came back with it written on a 3x5 card. I still have it to this day. This one and many others I have in hers, Mom's and Woo Woo's hand writing are priceless.
