Cherry Delight Pie
Submitted by The Cheap Gourmet
As mentioned in an earlier post, “In Honor of My Mother, the Cooking Queen“, my mom passed away on June 26th. She had a love for sharing food with family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. Everyone who indulged in her desserts, casseroles and home cooking always asked for her recipes.
While I intended to present mom’s favorite recipes throughout the month of August, I simply wasn’t able to bring myself to open her recipe box. Today, is the first time I have been strong enough to peruse mom’s recipe collection.
The first recipe in the box was for Cherry Delight Pie. Mom absolutely loved this dessert because it is super simple to make, it’s affordable and everyone who eats it goes bonkers for it. I hope it becomes one of your favorites!
