My mother made these when I was a child. I now get requests for them every Christmas. Very rich. My mother (and I) used a bit of the drained cherry juice, rather than orange juice.

This is me on the beach (at sunrise) from a southern vacation a few years ago. After loosing more than 50 pounds I am not so shy about bathing suits, beaches or pools as I used to be.
