This is one of my family favorite recipes I make over the years. I have this recipe in my fall cookbook, I got at a fall festival, and it is a wonderful dish to try. It's savory and sweet and yummy it's best with bourbon. We always had it with our turkey or with any meat you like. It's a great fall dish. It's a must try. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
