SOUTHERN TEA SANDWICH
I LOVE tea sandwiches. So lady-like, and perfect for an afternoon event, baby or wedding shower, even a cocktail party. These are traditionally served at the Kentucky Derby, originating from Miss Jennie C. Benedict, a local cateress, who first served them in 1893. They are meant to accompany other dishes, so the 4 to 8 servings will vary depending on what else is on the menu.

[email protected]I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the chopped pecans for dried cranberries. They were still delicious!
