Here is an elegant, delicious recipe which is always a hit. It's from my McCall's Great American Recipe Card Collection, which is about 25 years old. I own well over 1, 000 cookbooks, and I have to tell you: I have never, ever made a single "adjustment" to any recipe used from this collection. I have tried hundreds of them over the years, and they are always superb.

Hope you like this one.
