White Christmas Slice

White Christmas Slice is an age-old traditional goodie kept in the refrigerator during the Australian Christmas period. Children look forward to eating Christmas slices at home and when visiting. This is a recipe my grandmother made. Its appearance is magic. A snow-white body holding multi-coloured glace cherries.
