The Daily Potluck

This recipe comes from my paternal grandparents' home church, St. John's United Church of Christ in Bluffton, OH. The recipe in the Ladies' Auxiliary cookbook is listed as from my great-grandmother, Della (Bushong) Clark, but my father says he only remembers Grandpa Crites making it, especially at family gatherings.
