These little frozen gems come to us courtesy of Granny Jordan's recipe box. She was known for her frozen salads and her personal favorite were the frozen Cranberry Banana Salads which she always kept on hand. As good as those are, I think these are my favorite though. They just taste so summery! If you've had about all you can take of dreary skies and cold days this is the taste that will perk you right up!
