Remember how I talked about, while growing up, I would spending the fourth of July with my family and friends at a local town celebration? Along with all the fun memories of parades, amusement rides and tractor pulls, I have distinct memories of specific dishes that were served year after year. Mmmm, it’s amazing how a recipe can take you back! Do you have any favorite recipes from the fourth?
This simple trifle recipe of my Mother’s is a great summer treat and the ingredients add a patriotic flair to your holiday celebration. Nothing like a tasty and refreshing red, white and blue dessert to celebrate Independence Day!
