    From the kitchen of Carolyn the Crafty Gourmet from Real Estate Agent Susie Gruber, Fort Myers, Florida. This has the Stewart Seal of Approval. Totally scumptious. I will add a picture the next time I make it. Be prepared, this is a very moist recipe and will keep on your counter covered for several days.
