Friends and subscribers of Bittersweet share their many recipes with us for us in turn to share them with others. Most of the recipes in this column have not been published before. They are recipes handed down from older generations. Before we print them, we try them out. We appreciate all the help.
This column is based on desserts Essie Hamilton shared with us using oatmeal.
