March 20, 2023I have made this for years but lost access to my recipe collection and was googling a search to double check my ingredient proportions. There is an error in the sugar listed here 2x. The 3/4 cup is correct..the 3 cups is not.
Just to let someone know...it has always been a crowd pleaser for every occasion I have ever made it for! A MUST MAKE!!!
