Notes: My mother received this recipe from Signe Nordin Luering, my piano teacher, who received it from her husband's parents, They were from Germany and were missionaries in Singapore.
Notes: The original recipe said to simmer for 3 hours. It is then more sauce like.
This might work well in the slow cooker after initial food preparation.
