It is important to marinate this amazing concoction overnight to blend the flavors. It is so delicious and robust with many layers of flavor, yet a breeze to make. It makes for an elegant presentation served on a pretty plate! It's perfect for the holidays because it's green, red and white. I get rave reviews everytime I make it. My friend, Pam, an amazing cook, was kind enough to share this recipe with me! That's all folks, you can thank me later, LOL
