This recipe was recieved from a community named Homestead Heritage near Waco, Texas. They use only natural and homegrown ingredients including all their spices. This is best served on a cool fall afternoon with fresh homemade bread, but can be enjoyed anytime. A bit spicy but oh so yummy. Haven't met anyone who doesn't like it. Try it, you will like it too!
