When Grandma served this flourless rolled cake at Christmas, she would decorate the table with evergreen boughs and pinecones!

This rich dessert was the centerpiece of Grandma’s “Nutcracker” open house party the Saturday before Christmas.

This gumdrop-decorated cake was a Christmas Eve tradition at Grandma and Grandpa’s house.

Cool for summer, this cake was handy in winter, too, when canned fruit was all Grandma had on hand.

Nobody left the dinner table early when Grandma was serving this cake for dessert.

Grandma liked to say that this pie—with caramel both inside and out—was better than a State Fair caramel apple!

Grandma won many blue ribbons at the state fair with this scrumptious pie.

Although this pie was very dense and rich, we always asked for seconds!

Grandpa liked fruit and Grandma liked chocolate. This dessert satisfied them both.

Sweet and tart, this cool pie tasted like summer all year round.
