Reviews
My mother in law used to make this for my husband as a child. When she passed away, she took the recipe with her. This passed the test with my husband as better than hers! It took me a few test runs to learn how to roll it but worth the effort. So so so good!
Everybody liked it!
I get so tired of the mundane pumpkin recipes. A friend of mine made me this dish, and talk about heaven in my mouth! It has an extremely rich and bold flavor without being too sweet. It definitely reminds me of home.
