You are the second person to make this request. I have contacted my
mother and asked her to resurrect the recipe.

Hey Margie, Any chance of posting or passing along that sunchoke bread
recipe. I love using uncommon vegetables and fruit but using them can
be the biggest problem with their limited exposure and knowledge base.

Thanks,

also make a wonderful addition to poultry dressing or even just put in
the bottom of the roast pan where they absorb the juices and get crispy.
