I made this a few years ago, and it was wonderfull. Even though it was more work than expected, it was well worth it. I'm making it again this year for Thanksgiving Day to take to my sister's home. I'm sure it'll be well received again, especially since my sister found she is allergic to yellow dyes - and they are in almost every mix she checked. So this is well worth the trouble, because this is one great recipe!
