So, this recipe is sort of my own creation because my mom told me about it over the phone and when I went to the Jamaican grocery store (Bravo) near my house, they happened to be out of cherry pie filling. So, as a result, I ended up making it with canned mango and guava puree (a kitchen staple no doubt here in S. Florida). I’ve attached the original recipe, as per My Mom (this is super duper easy by the way which is why I wanted to try it). Your friends and family will think you are a rock star when you make this and it is so easy!!!
