Caught in a pinch?
Have you ever found yourself caught in a pinch for something to take to a neighbor's impromptu barbecue? Well, with the host and hostess providing the entrée and sides, it's always a beautiful gesture to take along a dessert to share with the guests! Everyone adores this little summer cherry delight. It is a snap to assemble, makes a beautiful presentation and both adults and children can enjoy dipping a little scoop onto a vanilla wafer, graham cracker square of chocolate wafer cookie. I have also served this for the holidays with ginger snaps.....just as Mother did! One of those little treasures of a southern recipe!

Cherry must be the "theme" of the day! My grandson and I are making cherry ice cream to go with an early birthday cake (I leave tomorrow to take him home). I love this quick dessert and can only imagine its popularity at a picnic. I'm definitely adding this to my recipe file, XOXO
