Number Of Ingredients 15

For the homemade maraschino cherries:

CHERRY YOGURT PARFAITS

Looking back in my book I found another good one from "Taste of Home Quick Cooking". I don't own parfait glasses so I use half pint canning jars instead; besides it comes with its own lid. This recipe will be very versatile in that you can change to most any flavor of pie filling. These would be great in the summer and there is no cooking so it won't heat the house!
