Posted by starwoodgal on July 19, 2008
I’ve been retyping a handwritten spiral notebook of desserts that my wonderful mother put together for me when I married. On the front cover she wrote “Favorite Cakes, Desserts, Pies & Cookies” and the date on the bottom right corner is October 1981. Needless to say, this book is about to fall apart being nearly 30 years old. And, before it falls apart; I’m retyping each page and putting them on Tastebook. When it is finished, I’ll share my account so others can print the book if they want to.
Today I found another recipe for peaches. The fresh peaches in Arkansas are wonderful this year. This is another refrigerated dessert that is perfect for summer. It is wonderful!
Mimi’s Peach Dessert
