I didn't know there was such a thing as pistachio pudding. I like the idea of the maraschino cherries on top -- so yummy, and pretty, too!

Wow, Joanne, that sounds easy and tasty! One of those would look wonderful on my table. I'm not sure I'd let anyone cut it.

It's pretty, but cut away. I also enjoy it for breakfast. I'm a coffee and danish gal, which goes along with one of my favorite quotes: "If you want to stay fat, you've got to eat."
Autumn,
I'm surprised you've never tried pistachio pudding. Any flavor of instant pudding is always an easy dessert. I'm partial to chocolate.
OOOH I love pistachio. I was looking for a new and different dessert for Christmas.
