I do not know the origin of this recipe just know my mother would make it when I was a little girl. It was so yummy and a very special treat to our family. Just before she passed away I asked her to write it down for me so I could have for keeps and make. She did say that I should squeeze fresh lemons to get the best taste but I do use Real Lemon to make it easier. I promise if you like lemon desserts you should love this special treat.
