When I was living in Germany, I was very homesick and asked my Mom for some recipes. She sent me a 4×6 spiral bound notebook (which I still have, of course), half filled with recipes and I have put them all in here. Of course it had sugar cream pies, 3 of them! Divinity, fudge, chocolate drops, quick breads and more. This gelatin recipe is in the notebook and is really special to me. I was such a picky eater growing up and we always had huge family get togethers on both sides of the family. On the Hutchinson side, someone always made this at Christmas and I loved it because for one it is delicious, and two, it was something I would actually eat. The first time I made it in Germany, I waited until I was done with everything else before I started it, big mistake. With all the different Jello’s, this is a drawn out recipe. When I finally finished it at 3 a.m., I was near tears, Then I flipped the page over to read the last steps and read my Mom’s comment at the bottom. She wrote ” this takes a long time to make”. That made me laugh. That taught me to read a recipe all the way through before I started!
