This recipe was a big hit at my grandson's shalom zachar and again at his brit a few weeks ago. Many people asked for the recipe, so while I was typing it up to share, I thought I would share it with this group. He was named Haggai Yaakov. The Haggai is after his great-grandmother, Frieda, whose recipe this is.
