Fruit Jubilee
This recipe is one of those special family recipes. It was a fund recipe that belonged to my Granny, Pauline Spry. I can remember being in her kitchen getting ready for family reunions or “dinner on the ground” at our church and making this recipe. In college at MTSU, I used this recipe as a demonstration in my presentation techniques course. (Never hurts to share a little sweet treat with others!) This recipe is a summer favorite. I usually ask my mom to make this for my June birthday. It is refreshing and delicious. Fruit Jubilee is also a great way to celebrate June Dairy Month.
