amber's old fashioned spinach w/ a flare!
This is a hand-me down family traditional recipe. It is crowd pleasen' and and gives a flare to spinach. The recipe starts back with our 4th great Grandma on my hubby's side. Over the years, we have never tried to improve it, it taste as good now as all those years back when Don was a child.My daughter makes it for us all the time, as she was the chosen one to have it passed down to. One of her many Special Talents. This was orginally made with Poke, though it is hard to find, as it grows wild.The only difference is in the taste. Spinach is not as bitter tasting as wild Poke.....~
