Old Recipes...

A family favorite from the Colton, SD Methodist Church UMW Cookbook (church cookbooks for the WIN), from the pen of the late Mildred Loomis. From the courier font typed mimeograph production, I'd guess this book with Mildred's contribution rolled out no later than the late 1960's or early 1970's - and I could easily believe greater age.

I'm a carnivore, not an omnivore, but am assured that for those that *like* fruit....that this is the yum...it's certainly been on our family holiday tables since back then...
