White Fudge with Pecans and Cherries
Description
From my Aunt Maggie's collection. This one has been around for as long as I can remember. She made this for me when I was very young, so I know it's been around at least since the early 60s. Tried and True. I make it for my cookie exchange I host every year at Christmas.
