Reduce heat to a low simmer and cook, covered, for at least 3 hours.

You ever make the spiral peanut butter potato candy?

Like the above recipe it had to be real boiled potato, not instant,
nothing added. And pretty dry.

It sounds strange enough that I just might have to try it. Of course,
after enough Baileys or Jamesons I might be willing to try just about
anything...

Dan

recipe for this.

Oh sort of ends up like rum balls. Didn't get to shop today as the kids
decided to go to Indianapolis for the week end. Darn, all this good stuff
has to wait until next week. These things sound wonderful. I took off 30
pounds over the last three years, I better watch or could put it right back
on!!!
