Toffee Apple Tart Rustica

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by PaulaG  

I recently ordered an apple peeler from a web site, having no hope I’d made a smart purchase. El Wrongo. It works like a charm, and I had 8 cups of peeled, sliced Granny Smith apples in no time flat. I think I read this tip on Zaar, and I'd... — San Marcos Sunshine Feb 6, 2008

Lemon-Buttermilk Sorbet

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Juenessa  

Just excellent! Made this with Meyer lemons for a mid course at our annual Easter brunch...I intended to garnish each serving with fresh mint, but I found thyme in bloom in the herb garden, so used it instead. Simply lovely and refreshing! — San Marcos Sunshine May 7, 2007

Christmas Scent

Posted by Marg (CaymanDesigns)  

A last minute decision found me at Walmart buying quart size Mason jars, a red/green plaid fabric remnant to line the tops & ribbon to tie on the instruction cards. I found inexpensive bulk spices at Henry's (a Wild Oats type market); added... — San Marcos Sunshine Dec 28, 2006

Beer Biscuits

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Donna Luckadoo  

Perfect! I was making chili and thought these might be a good alternative to the usual corn bread. I always add beer to my chili, so I had a home for the remainder of the can. I also used chopped fresh chives in place of the onion and a tsp. of... — San Marcos Sunshine Nov 28, 2006

Lobster with Champagne Dipping Sauce

Posted by Hey Jude  

Hooray for Hollywood! Every local market had King Crab on special this weekend, and there are some huge, fat legs waiting in my freezer for the traditional "Spare the Bird" Day. I found this wonderful sauce recipe in a Junior League Cookbook... — San Marcos Sunshine Nov 19, 2006

Jerez Cherry Liqueur

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by NcMysteryShopper  

I put my 4th of July houseguest to work poking holes in the cherries. Bicker, bicker…. â€?Are you SURE you put 4 holes in each one? If 4 are good, 'am' 8 better?" HA! We added all the other fine ingredients, and it's been brewing away in... — San Marcos Sunshine Oct 22, 2006

Here's the ULTIMATE addition to this recipe as served at The Beach House in Cardiff by the Sea. (Don't you wish you were there right now?) They add roasted, chopped macadamia nuts! Oh My Gosh...just give me heaven on a plate & leave me alone!... — San Marcos Sunshine Jul 14, 2006

Bing Cherry Ice Cream

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by seahorse73  

The third recipe in our Cuisinart 4th of July ice cream marathon. I had a bag of bing cherries on hand which weren't exactly fine snacking quality (not quite hard & sweet enough to suit me). Ah ha..we turned them into “ice cream bait”, and no... — San Marcos Sunshine Jul 11, 2006

Lemon Fluff Ice Cream

Posted by bevarg  

#2 of 3 ice cream recipes served for the 4th of July festivities at "The Hotel California". You're right..it's VERY good and how simple can it be? No cooking! I used Meyer lemon juice found in the freezer from Meyer season. The ice cream had... — San Marcos Sunshine Jul 11, 2006

Strawberry Gelato (Italian Style)

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Dee514  

The Cuisinart ice cream freezer got quite a work out over the long 4th holiday. This was the first of three recipes we tried at “The Hotel California”, and it was very good indeed. I had fresh strawberry freezer jam on hand to embellish an... — San Marcos Sunshine Jul 11, 2006

Royal Hawaiian Mai Tai

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Bev  

Our Official 2006 4th of July BBQ Cocktail. My sweet tooth house guest found it a bit too tart and added a touch of maraschino cherry juice which also gave the mixture a slight rosy glow. I had a tough time finding orgeat syrup, but finally... — San Marcos Sunshine Jul 10, 2006

Kahlua Muffins

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Deborah1  

I made these for the annual Easter brunch, and everyone wanted the recipe. When I got to reading it over, I felt the 1 cup of brown sugar was going to be too sweet for my taste. I cut it back to maybe only 2T. The recipe made at least 60 mini... — San Marcos Sunshine Apr 19, 2006

Easter Bunny S'mores in a Jar

(13 people found this helpful) Posted by mydesigirl  

I made 10 or 12 of these jars last Easter for brunch party favors and learned some tricks along the way. First of all, buy wide mouth jars, as they’ll give your fingers more room for placing the Bunny Peeps. A second set of hands is also... — San Marcos Sunshine Mar 26, 2006

Strawberry Coconut Cheesecake

Posted by MarieAlice  

I must comment on the preparation. I wanted to try making this as a traditional cheesecake baked in a spring form pan. However, I was out of heavy duty wide foil, so I couldn't line the pan bottom effectively to prevent the water bath from... — San Marcos Sunshine Mar 25, 2006

Shelia's Boston Brown Bread

Posted by Mike #2  

Great trick--not unlike bran muffins without the eggs. I made 1/2 the recipe in 2 cans. (Don't forget to remove the outer plastic label from the cans.) I sprayed the cans well with "Baker's Secret"; baked perfectly in an hour and came out... — San Marcos Sunshine Jan 4, 2006

Lemon Bark

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by riffraff  

This is a winner! As Jules said, the only challenge is crushing the lemon drops which will poke through the strongest plastic bag, leaving a trail of yellow dust. Next time, I'll smash them outside and give the ants a thrill! This treat tastes... — San Marcos Sunshine Jan 1, 2006

Lucky Black-Eyed Peas

Posted by Lorraine of AZ  

I'm lucky to have found such a great recipe, Lorraine! Like you, I've never been fond of the black-eyed pea. My N-Year's luck previously involved sauerkraut, but I figured, "What the Heck! Try something new." Coward that I am, I tackled only... — San Marcos Sunshine Jan 1, 2006

White Chocolate And Raspberry Cheesecake

A large pack of fresh raspberries jumped into my buggy at Sam’s Club, so this recipe was chosen to replace the traditional Christmas Eve Cherries Jubilee. After reading countless reviews of the recipe on Epicurious, I decided to substitute Alton... — San Marcos Sunshine Dec 26, 2005

Cranberry Horseradish Sauce

(5 people found this helpful) Posted by Babs in Toyland  

This recipe needs a little publicity before the upcoming holidays. It's an unusual use of cranberries, but everyone loves it (unless they don't like horseradish.) My original copy suggests it as a condiment for those left over turkey sandwiches.... — San Marcos Sunshine Oct 29, 2005
