Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This has been a family recipe on the Hunter side for many generations. When originally made, it was cooked all day on the back of an old coal or wood burning stove.
The ingredients were added in layers and would cook all day without stirring. When the new electric ranges had started being used, the recipe was modified by Grandma Hunter. It no longer needed to be cooked all day and had to be stirred during the process.
