A dear friend shared this recipe with me over 30 years ago, and it has appeared on our table frequently all these years. It's rich tasting, plus the touch of red maraschino cherries makes it a real treat for the holidays or any special occasion. —Jean Kirkland, Newport, Oregon

Every holiday we would insist my Aunt Edie make this. She gave me the recipe before she died. We still think of her while we gobble it down.

I have a mold just like the one pictured for this recipe! This is so good that if there happens to be a little bit left, my family members will fight good-naturedly over who gets it. I think the garnish of lime slices and maraschino cherries is gorgeous. I want to do that the next time I make this.
