Notes: This recipe brings great memories of my mother-in-law, Bernice Holt-Schwenk. She would make this recipe every Christmas. Each one of us got a large bag in our stockings or own the pool table with our names on it. We would make sure we ate all of hers before eating ours; she would have it in a large bowl on the dining table. She gave me this recipe because she said she was tired of doing it and she was getting too old. She would say, I know you all love it, so someone needs to start doing this Schwenk tradition. She died a lonely woman, missing her grandchildren. The last time I called her, she said please come and visit, tell Chris (now Keivalei) to stop by and to live with me. She always made sure at Christmas time, her grandchildren had an abundance amount of gifts. She told me $50 is my limit for each family member but we all knew she always over did it-her Sears catalogue would be marked with a K for Kawika and C for Chris, very rarely would we see L for Lashaun-her grandchildren marked almost every toy on every toy page. I will be sure to pass on this recipe so her memory will always live. Aloha ke Akua 'ia 'oe, 'O Grandma Nano!
