This is a must have for all family gatherings with us. I always get request for it and always bring home an empty dish! It's not too sweet and the perfect addition to turkey or my favorite, HAM! My mother eats it as a dessert, but I prefer letting it share the spotlight with the main dish!! You cannot go wrong! Try it just once. :o) P.S. This is an easy fix ahead also, just need to pop it in the oven again to heat through and you can also prep it and freeze to bake later. Y'all enjoy!!
