nana hilda's creamy pa dutch bacon dressing
My Nana was PA Dutch, she was born in the late 1800's! She always had a jar of this in the fridge. It keeps indefinitely without spoiling. It's great warmed and served over a lettuce salad with grated hard boiled eggs sprinkled over. I also like a little spooned over cooked, drained green beans. Not all my family likes this :) It's sweet/sour so use your imagination.
