Last year we sampled fruitcake that Clare made with real dried fruits. This store-bought fruitcake has some very bright colors. The green is candied orange rind?! Flavor wasn’t bad. Tastes like a Fig Newton.
Eric treated us to Ambrosia, which is a whipped topping and vanilla yogurt base, with cherries, mandarin oranges, pineapple tidbits, coconut, pecans, and tri-color marshmallows. There’s a lot going on in that salad. Pretty good stuff!
Clare whipped up ‘Aunt Bertha’s Nana Pudding with the Cheery on Top.” This featured homemade vanilla pudding from scratch. Delish!
And since there’s a cherry on top of that nana pudding, it’s a great opportunity to practice tying cherry stems in your mouth. Eric can do it!
