CHERRY YUM YUM

Good Morning my sweet friends....
It's December.....let's enjoy the entire month
as we head toward Christmas Day!

You are going to love today's recipe...
it's so easy to prepare and takes few ingredients!



You know the saying..."All hearts go home for Christmas!"

It's very true for me....
I am flooded with delightful memories of
the holiday season growing up....
My parents made this a very happy and special time for us
and I become a bit melancholy thinking about those times......
This was a dessert Mother made and I can still recall
this dish being served on Christmas Eve....
it calls for Dream Whip...remember that? 

Dream Whip was used in several dessert recipes back then....
this was before Cool Whip.......

I had almost forgotten how delicious this was....

A buttery crust made with real graham crackers......

And...a topping of my favorite pie filling....CHERRY!!!!!

Can you see how pretty this is to serve at Christmas time.....

I could stop right here....and enjoy a big spoonful of this creamy delight......

Okay....you have waited long enough....here's the recipe......
