Today I’m visiting some of my former co-workers so I baked some goodies yesterday to bring along. This is a recipe from Justin’s mom. Simple, delicious and it makes a lot 🙂 They can be made with any fruit. I made cherry this time. I also made brownies.

My Grandma B. has a recipe very similar to this that we see at family parties quite often. Very tasty!
