I got this recipe from my Mother-in-Law. She made them every year for the holidays. After she passed either my FIL would make them, or if we made it home for the holidays my hubby & I would make them. Now they're a staple at our house at Christmas. Except for this past Xmas, the recipe was missing... it resurfaced recently. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!!!!
