Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe is truly inter-generational. It originated with the matriarch, Maggie. who always prepared it for her Thanksgiving and Christmas tables.. She passed the recipe down to her children who did likewise. And then the recipe became a part of the holiday tradition for the grandchildren. At present, one of Maggie's great-grandchildren cares little about the turkey and the dressing for the holiday meal. He insists only on having the cranberry salad.
