“We use to make this during the holiday season and commonly served it with breakfast on Christmas morning.” – Calla Ferre
“This is one of my favorite to make for the fair. It’s got an old-fashioned feel and looks beautiful on the plate. It’s a bit tricky to keep the orange filling in, but the end results are definitely worth it.” – April Ferre
