TARRANT WELGE | BEDMINSTER, NJ | SERVES 24
Brings the family together every time and starts all of the old stories flowing plus opens up the generations of family talking to each other about current life events. We make 2 trays of this for every family gathering and it is gone before every other dish. Usually another tray has to be made after Christmas party to keep the host family (aka Jacquelin & Kristine) happy. Making this is an all-day affair to make (5-6 hours) but the house smells fantastic.
