This is a re-post with a few, slight modifications…and new pictures! I made it for my Brasilian mother-in-law’s birthday party on Sunday afternoon. All our Brasilian relatives were there and gave it a big thumbs up. So, I’m taking it on good authority that if you make it, people will like you. It may not […]

I went to my favorite Latin American market and was enamored with the gorgeous white cherries they had. I tucked my two bags away in the crisper where they were forgotten for a few days.
