This recipe comes to us from a Miriam Mast in the Amish settlement outside of Clare. I've been to the Clare community and it is a pretty conservative community. But friendly. Wow, this recipe seems really unusual and delicious. I typed it in exactly as she wrote it. So if something is unclear, we don't have much else to go on. Enjoy!

Wow-maybe it is just me but the combination of maple and lime does not inspire me to go to the kitchen and whip this up.
