HISTORY
A perfect summer dessert especially for Memorial Day, 4th of July, or Labor Day! The red, white and blue colors are prominent in this dessert. Did you know cranberries are America's Original Superfruit? It's true! Cranberries are one of only three native fruits to North America. Can you guess the other two? They're the Concord Grape and Blueberries. This dessert features two out of the three, not bad! OK back to the dessert - the lightness of the angel food cake and cool whip with the tasty fruits really make this a light and easy dessert to consume on a hot summer day. And did we mention, no cooking or baking required? Simply grab a premade angel food cake from your grocery store bakery and you don't have to turn your oven on! Save yourself time and effort and still look like you spent a lot of time and effort making these festive desserts. The mason jars make the perfect size too!
