Delightful Punch

Wed, 31 Oct 2001 17:29:14 -0500

I came up with this recipe when I had to make punch for a party at my daughters school. The Fuzzy Navel Mix really helps give this punch an extra kick. You could also add the alcohol for adults if you wished. I also call this Witches Brew for Halloween and mix it in a large soup pot (witches cauldron) and add gummy worms to it. Hope you enjoy this one as much as we have. For those interested in adding alcohol to this punch, follow the measurements on the can for the Bacardi Fuzzy Navel Mix. I prefer to use spiced rum if adding alcohol, but light or dark is just as good. We have also make this with Vodka. -- posted by Nicole Brummett

Mon, 08 Apr 2002 19:46:00 -0400

This recipe is easily cut in half if this is too much. This refreshing punch is delicious, and always a hit at any summer gathering. Use a Citrus Ice Ring (recipe posted separately) in the punch bowl -- it's pretty, and it keeps the punch cold. -- posted by Lennie

Banana Slush Punch

Sat, 04 May 2002 14:50:38 -0400

This is a delicious, refreshing non-alcoholic punch. It's wonderful on a very hot day. Its only disadvantage is that, as the recipe says, it has to be drunk fairly quickly, before the slush melts. So this isn't a recipe to use at a party where the punch may sit in the bowl for quite awhile. -- posted by Jo Ann L

Punch for a Bunch

Wed, 16 Oct 2002 22:00:09 -0400

Our Christmas get togethers start off with this punch. The first Christmas I served this punch:It was not until clean up time that I realized I didn't add the ginger ale. No one knew the difference. It serves 50 and it was gone in a blink. I have remembered to add the ale since. I found this in 1997 St.Francis Families II cookbook. -- posted by Young Living in Texas

This is SO delicious!!! Always brings rounds of compliments - AND - it's not a dark-colored drink, so is appropriate even for weddings, etc.. Even those who don't care for pineapple flavor love this punch! Enjoy! -- posted by WJKing

Uncle Bill's Christmas Fruitcake With Brandy

Thu, 31 Oct 2002 20:10:23 -0500

I first made this cake just over 30 years ago when our liquor was inexpensive. I continued this tradition ever since. The cake is nice and moist and has a most delightful flavor. Very Nutty and Fruity. Makes about 12 to 13 pounds of cake. -- posted by William (Uncle Bill) Anatooskin

Fruit Punch-Non Alcoholic

Sat, 28 Dec 2002 20:02:02 -0500

Posted for a request. This is really a refreshing non alcoholic punch. Passionfruit syrup might be difficult to get outside Australia, so maybe a lemon syrup would be good instead. -- posted by JustJanS

White Chocolate Fruit Tarts

Mon, 13 Jan 2003 20:09:04 -0500

This is a beautiful dessert that I serve when hosting a bridal or wedding shower for friends or for ladies' luncheons. Full of fresh fruits and a light creamy white chocolate filling, these are always a big hit and I get plenty of "oohs and ahhs" when I bring them out. If you prefer, you can use the store-bought spongy yellow tart shells from the grocery store, but I usually make my own if I have the time. The type of tart pans you need will make a very flat spongy cake layer with an indentation for spreading filling (I use the flan pans from Pampered Chef).Prep time also includes cooling and chilling times as is a very rough guess. Cook time accounts for the baking of the tart shells and also some time for melting the white chocolate and heating the glaze. I prefer a thinner layer of the white chocolate filling, but I have sometimes doubled the amount upon request. -- posted by HeatherFeather

Bridesmaid's Luncheon Chicken Salad

Thu, 20 Mar 2003 20:06:20 -0500

Fri, 04 Apr 2003 20:17:30 -0500

Slushy Punch

Fri, 18 Apr 2003 20:13:04 -0400

My mom gave me this recipe, and I think she said she got it from Allrecipes. I made it for a work potluck, and everyone loved it (although most of them said it needed some alcohol to perfect it). Nice and fruity, you can use any red Jello flavors that you like, and it (thankfully) lacks the little pools of melted sherbet ick that so many punch recipes have. Freezing time not reflected in prep time (tastes equally good just chilled, if you're short on time). -- posted by Muffin Goddess

Baked Mexican Bananas

Tue, 13 May 2003 20:00:35 -0400

I don't eat bananas often, even though I love them. When I do have bananas, they have to be very special, and I promise you, these babies are very very special! Try serving them over vanilla frozen yogurt, or with an intensely chocolate ice cream. -- posted by Mirj

Mango-Avocado Salsa

Tue, 24 Jun 2003 20:01:02 -0400

This is an easy tropical dish that is full of flavor! I like to serve it with chips, or as a side dish. It would be easy to try slightly different versions by adding lime juice, ginger, pineapple, or jalapenos, depending on your personal taste. If you have any other suggestions, I would love to hear them! Thanks! -- posted by Calla Lily

Banana Pancakes With Hazelnut Mascarpone Crème

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 00:29:33 -0400

Hazelnut cream is a delightful and satisfying sweet enjoyed throughout Europe, and in our opinion, Americans will love it equally well. Blending it with mascarpone cheese makes it a winner for spreading atop deliciously rich banana pancakes. This dish reminds us of Dads Sunday morning pancakes, but weve elevated the presentation slightly above what Dad would have done, enough that it can be served as an elegant part of a casual brunch. -- posted by Annacia

Fruit Salsa With Cinnamon Chips

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 21:21:06 -0400

This is really refreshing on a hot day. I'm sure you could add rum to make this an interesting cocktail although I've only tried the non-alcoholic version! This drink is best when made with newly-opened sparkling water, to get the most fizz out of it! Cook time is chill time. -- posted by Shuzbud
