Notes
This recipe doubles and triples well. I have served this often at large group gatherings where I have fed up to 200 people.
To change up the flavor profile, add in:
Nuts: Use pecans, almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts.
Dried Fruit: We like raisins, currants, cranberries, or apricots.
Garlic. Minced garlic or garlic powder.
Seasoning: Chives, Mint, Cilantro or Parsley
