TART CHERRY MERINGUE DESSERT
I've made this cherry dessert for years to serve at baby showers, birthday parties and other special occasions. People really enjoy the tender crust, cherry filling and melt-in-your-mouth meringue. Every time I serve it, someone asks for the recipe. -Kathryn Dawley, Gray, Maine

[email protected]I've made this dessert several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The tart cherries give it a nice tanginess that balances out the sweetness of the meringue. The crust is also very easy to make and holds up well to the filling.
