Recipe Introduction
Helen Jolly (Grandma Helen as everyone called her) was a remarkable woman who I met while on the Prodigy Food Board. We developed a great friendship while she was there. Helen contributed hundreds of great recipes and some that I have tried have never let me down. If you see a Helen Jolly (Grandma/Helen) recipe while browsing the net don't hesitate to try it. Many people feel the same way I do. Helen is no longer with us, but she is always present with me as I look through my recipe database.
I have not tried this recipe, but many have and they all give it thumbs up.
