Aunt Mazo's Dessert recipe

8 servings

4 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk

4 pints heavy whipping cream

1 (4 ounce) jar maraschino cherries

1 cup chopped almonds

Remove labels from the cans of milk and put them unopened into a large pot of gently boiling water.

Boil for about 3 hours.

Make sure the water doesn't boil away or the cans will explode (or so I'm told).

After 3 hours, take the cans out and cool in fridge.

When chilled, open the cans and put the results into a bowl.

Beat the whipping cream, and fold into the "caramel sauce" (cooked, cooled condensed milk).

Mix in the nuts and cherries.
