Another recipe from my mothers kitchen. I almost feel like I'm giving away a secret recipe. It comes from the 1970's famous Kentucky Farmington Cookbook. She used to serve it in the restaurant she ran for elegant ladies luncheons. It is unbelievably tasty, and I can tell you, this is one of those dishes many haven't had, but make it right, and it WILL be remembered because of the strong beautiful mixture of flavors. Trust me! :-)
