alice's raspberry salad
family favorite for 50 years
 

It is said that as we grow older we become our mothers...
I hope this is true because I could use more of her good nature and kindness!
She does have one fault that she has passed on to me...grazing. I understand I am a third generation grazer. We pick a little here and eat a little there, but arenʼt very hungry at mealtime.

Mom has been making this recipe for 50 years, every family holiday or birthday, for as long as I can remember. A salad, dressed up as a dessert!
She found the recipe in a Wisconsin Dairyland publication in the early 50ʼs.
