Our mom makes this at many holiday meals. If you are from the South (or the Midwest, as we are) this is considered a side dish. Let’s be honest though, it’s a dessert that’s socially acceptable to eat along with your meal. What’s not to like about that?! Whether you choose to enjoy this as a side or as a dessert, you’ll find no judgement here. It contains fruit, so it makes sense it could be either one, right?! Right. ~Erin
