I cut this recipe out of the newspaper a few years ago and it is truly the most requested to be shared. And I share it freely. The story that accompanied this recipe is that it was created by Marcella Sarne of Long Beach, CA and was a grand prize winner in a national contest. I can attest to its popularity and the amazing flavor!!
