Heritage Recipe

Pineapple Upside Down Cake
(Mom's Birthday Present)

This recipe is from my mother's cookbook. It's easy to find her favorite recipes. These are the pages with all the stains from spills and splatters; she was a wonderful cook. Her speciality was baking and she wasn't afraid to try anything. She cooked with pride and love... everything tasted great! ...Kerry Noon
