This is from an old cookbook published in 1954 by the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital Auxiliary. It has my mom’s hand writing in it!

I used local honey and eggs from a local farm, butter and walnuts. No margarine in this house! It’s from a favorite cookbook Vineyard Fare, 1954 edition, which my mom bought. I love and collect cookbooks!
