My friend Diane (Folland) Shumway gave me this recipe and made me one for Christmas one year. I loved it, It was delightful! Marilyn Neerings and I made about ten of them one year at Christmas to give to our friends and neighbors for Christmas. I can't remember how long it took but It was quite the undertaking.
