Description

These are really easy to make, and their flavor improves if they're made a few weeks in advance, and stored in the freezer.

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon sherry wine or Marsala
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

  • 6 red maraschino cherries, chopped
  • 6 green maraschino cherries, chopped
  • ¼ cup slivered almonds
