I’ve gotten into this recipe kick as of late. I just really, really want to write out recipes for y’all. I thought I’d keep in vein with the holiday theme of my last post and write-up some desserts that were always served at Thanksgiving and Christmas. These are both, to me, Southern recipes. However, like the Chicken Poppy Seed Casserole, they are probably universal recipes from a cookbook or magazine that just about everyone has a version of.
Both of these recipes were made by my paternal grandmother. One is a bite sized dessert confection while the other is a dessert salad. I believe that my grandmothers did a bit of dessert salad swapping after my parents were newly married. The dessert salad that was always served by my Yankee grandmother was a family friends recipe from my paternal grandmother. And the dessert salad that was always served by my Southern grandmother was originally given to my Yankee grandmother by her southern neighbours.
