Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Gram wrote the card and she added, "I believe you can cut the recipe in half." I remembered that these were steamed but that might be a different recipe. Grampa Phillips (great-grandfather) made these every Christmas until he passed away, then Gram took over the tradition. There is no pork in the recipe!!
