Peach Squares Recipe by Ruth Paget 

Serves 6 

Ingredients: 

-1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs 

-1 ½ tablespoons melted butter 

-1 teaspoon cinnamon 

-1 (8.5-ounce) can sliced peaches 

– drained with liquid reserved 

-1 (1-ounce) envelope lime-flavored gelatin 

-6 drained maraschino cherries 

Steps: 

1-Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and cinnamon. 

2-Add the liquid from the peaches to water to form 1½ cups. Heat this liquid over medium heat and add lime gelatin. Stir liquid to thoroughly dissolve gelatin. 

3-Chill gelatin until it is thickened. Once thickened, mix in the peaches.

4-Place the gelatin mixture in an 8-inch square pan. Sprinkle the graham cracker mixture on top of the gelatin and press down to firmly anchor the graham cracker crumbs. 

5-Arrange cherries so that each serving will have one in the center. Chill the gelatin until firm and cut into 6 square servings.
