Gorton memories

There are so many magical memories of the holidays that when I close my eyes I can picture Christmas' gone by and the smells, sounds and feelings all come back. One of them is Gorton. It is a French-Canadian recipe listed below that I remember eating. It is a spread that I like served on toast. I remember it all winter long, but mostly for the holidays. Mr. Forgue, who sang in Sacred Heart Choir with my Mom, had given my Mom his recipe and it was delicous. It was in her green recipe book found in the bottom drawer in her kitchen. Once a year she would bring out the recipe and make Gorton herself. When she got older, it was easier to buy it from the store than to make. There are these small little mini bread slices that were served Christmas Eve along with the Gorton spread. Some put yellow mustard on theirs. I like mine just plain. We just made some and it has to cool overnight. The smell is bringing back so many wonderful memories.
