It’s time to celebrate another food holiday. This one I think is very timely since Monday is Memorial Day.
Today is #nationalcherrydessertday ! Cherry pie seems to be one of those classic American desserts, but there are so many ways to enjoy those juicy red cherries.
One of my favorite summer childhood memories is coming into the house on a hot summer day for lunch. My mom would often serve limeade with our lunch. I would love to drink that tangy limeade while sitting under the swap cooler to cool off. Then, I discovered cherry limeade which I thought was even better. I loved the tangy lime juice paired with the sweet maraschino cherries! It was divine.
So as we get ready to kick off the summer this Memorial Day weekend. I made a frozen cherry limeade pie to share with all of you. It will be a great dessert to enjoy this summer.
I also have a collection of even more cherry dessert recipes to celebrate this holiday. I have some from the #celebratingfoodholidays bloggers that I team up with each month in addition to pulling some other ones from my archives. Check them all out below the recipe for today!
