Comments
This recipe came from a book entitled "Kitchen Wisdom 'italiano'. " It was compiled by St. Anthony's Girls' Brigade of Hartford, Connecticut. I don't know when it was put together as there are no dates, but the book seems very old. I also have a recipe from my husband's great aunt, but at the moment I can't find it. I'll keep looking and will post it when I find it!
