This recipe was a favorite of my parents. At the bottom of the handwritten recipe, my Dad wrote, "(Let it) set for 24 hours as you can keep it as long as you want, the longer the better." If you can't tolerate green peppers, you may use sweet red bell pepper instead. Makes a great side dish for Easter, and it travels well for potlucks and pinics.
