I was given this recipe by a friend a number of years ago and lost it! Have always loved it and it gets rave reviews every where I have taken it. I am making it for BUNKO with the ladies in my neighborhood in a couple of days and expect that they will love it too! It is the perfect fall dish! I sometimes serve it warm with vanilla ice cream instead of whipped cream!
