This is one of my grandmother’s recipes that I have never come across anywhere else in my life. It is a simple all-time classic recipe that you can prepare for Christmas or any other time of the year. I always remember her cooking this at family gatherings. She never troubled herself with measuring exact quantities, she just said that you add this and that, judging the amounts by eye.
