Vanilla Fig Preserves

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by ~Rita~  

Wonderful! I made only half the amount and wish I had made more now. I used vanilla sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste as I didn't have a vanilla pod on hand, and I blended the preserves before pouring into the jars. The smell was incredible,... — Nic Sep 24, 2007

Cranberry Sauce with Jalapeno Peppers

Posted by William (Uncle Bill) Anatooskin  

We loved this cranberry sauce. It was so easy and quick to make, I made one change and that was to use Cointreau instead of sherry. The jalapenos really gave it a bit of a kick. I made it to go with our Christmas lunch and I know I'll be making it... — Nic Dec 30, 2006

Sticky Croissant Toffee Pudding

Posted by Mirj  

Wow! I loved this and so did the rest of the family, we had it for dessert. I was worried that the croissants would be totally soggy, but they were perfect, soaked with the toffee at the bottom and very crispy at the top. I used 4 large croissants... — Nic Dec 20, 2006

Irish Coffee Cake

Posted by Elly in Canada  

This cake made a great change from chocolate, it was light and spongy and the texture reminded me of a 'rum baba'. I drizzled half the coffee syrup over one side of the cake and let it soak in before turning the sponge over and doing the other... — Nic Aug 30, 2006

Spinach Gratin

Posted by Sackville  

This is a fabulous side dish, full of flavour. I used a bit less flour than stated and replaced some of the milk with cream. I used our home-grown spinach and onions and also added a few hot pepper flakes into the sauce. Thanks for posting this... — Nic Aug 26, 2006

My husband would give these more than 5 stars, he loves these tasty potato pancakes. After assembling the potato mixture, I spooned it into those metal cooking rings that you can buy, to give the pancakes a beautiful even round shape, before... — Nic Jun 9, 2006

Pear Coffee Cake with Ginger Pecan Crunch Topping

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by 1Steve  

Oh yum! I had a piece of this cake at MarieAlice's and it was delicious, still warm from the oven. There was just a hint of ginger and she used walnuts instead of the pecans. I know I'll be making this at home soon! — Nic Mar 31, 2006

Green Beans with Cherry Tomatoes

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Merlot  

This is a wonderful way to serve green beans. The only change I made was to use fresh garlic as I had some on hand. I used fresh beans and tomatoes and am looking forward to the summer when I can use home-grown vegetables from my garden for this... — Nic Mar 23, 2006

Golden Jubilee Cake

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by MarieAlice  

I made this cake using fresh raspberries from our garden and clotted cream that I brought back from our holiday in Devon. It really does taste as good as it looks, and the cake layers can be frozen, minus the cream, very successfully. Thanks for... — Nic Aug 17, 2005

Malibu Bay Breeze

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

Fantastic! This is my new favourite tipple - I didn't have plain cranberry juice, so I used a carton of cranberry and raspberry juice and it worked brilliantly. The left-over juices were mixed together and frozen into single portions - just for me!! — Nic Jul 20, 2005

Terrific Iced Tea

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by MarieAlice  

You would think that as I had spent nearly 6 years in Arizona, I would be an expert on iced tea, but being a British hot tea drinker I was bothered by it and had never really tried it. At a sweltering afternoon tea party, held by MarieAlice, I... — Nic Jun 27, 2005

This sounds like an odd combination, but it really does work. I loved the crunchiness of the nuts and the tang of the marmalade. In fact, I think this might be my new favourite cheese spread. Thanks for sharing MarieAlice! — Nic Jun 23, 2005
