This is the exact recipe my Aunt Joanne made for us when i was about 9 yrs old. and that is 47 yrs ago. It is delicious. Great for Easter and Thanksgiving to, my boys always loved it when I made it for them.

ohhh looks delish Wanda! I love mandarin oranges and this looks so refreshing and it’s pretty 🙂

wow, if this is “salad” sign me up! It looks like a delicious dessert to me! I am proud to be one of the featured bloggers over at Wanda Ann’s and Joy’s party with you today!

This is a perfect dessert; though it would go great on the picnic table too with a nice bbq.

Either way; I would love it.

Blessings, Catherine
