As a newlywed, this is one of the first recipes I ever made. My husband loved it and raved about it, and I felt like I had found a million dollar recipe! This is from the “Jack Daniel’s – The Spirit of Tennessee Cookbook”. It is truly a wonderful cookbook – full of traditional, southern recipes as well as fascinating stories of the people and culture of middle Tennessee. If you can find a copy, I highly recommend it!
