I haven't tasted it yet, but any receipe I get from my mom is usually delicious. I'm taking it to a Bible study Tuesday night, and I'll let you know what everybody thought about it.

Everybody liked it, but in all honesty I didn't think it was all that great. It's good, but I think Ellies Strawberry Jello is better.
