Aunt Mazo's Dessert

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 4 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
• 4 pints heavy whipping cream
• 1 (4 ounce) jar maraschino cherries
• 1 cup chopped almonds

Recipe

• 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.
