I made Charlotte all by myself for the first time almost exactly 3 years ago. I am attaching the instructions Mom sent me because they make me smile every time I read through them, and it is almost like being home in the kitchen with everyone.
Love,
Laura
P.S. For anyone trying to follow the recipe, the part about coating the spoon was made clear to me last Christmas. If you take your finger and run it down the back of the spoon and no drips or anything go into the stripe, that is "coating" the spoon.
I'm making my charlotte tomorrow, and I will be thinking of all of you (and all those whom we love, but see no longer). It is a joy and a blessing to be part of this motley crew!

With apologies to Andy Griggs, if heaven has a taste it's not cherry pie. It's charlotte.
