Jazzy Fruit Salad

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 13:44:30 -0400

Fruit salad is one of my go to favorites to take to summer events. Light fresh and easy, you can always please a crowd. The color contrast between the tropical fruits and the bright berries will be an eye-catcher with the addition of ginger, lime and mint giving it jazzy finish that everyone will remember. Feel free to do substitutions with like fruits, such as swapping the mango with papaya. -- posted by justcallmetoni

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 02:06:08 -0400

This is a fabulous cake for children (and adults) of all ages. I made it for my brother's 21st birthday and he loved it. It's easy to make, tastes great, and leftovers store easy (if there are any).

Watermelon and Berry Soup

Mon, 18 May 2009 14:14:32 -0400

This is a wonderful, easy recipe. Dairy free, no cook, quick to make! Perfect for entertaining in the summer. I "adjusted" the original of this recipe which came from "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone", a fabulous cookbook by Deborah Madison which won Julia Child and James Beard awards (I'm not vegetarian, it's just a great book!). I always keep Costco's 3 Berry Mix in my freezer. I use these frozen berries, but use fresh if you prefer. I like the texture the thawing berry's have in the soup as well as the unexpected chill they add to each bite. This is really an easy recipe to adapt, be creative, go wild! -- posted by Mrs Goodall

Healthy Banana Peanut Butter Pudding/Topping

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 00:44:35 -0400

I had a tin of chickpeas that needed using up and decided to experiment, so I pureed them with banana, peanut butter, honey and cinnamon and they tasted great! They're nice on their own, or as a topping for oatmeal, ice cream, stewed fruits, or whatever you want. I like them with stewed rhubarb, for some reason the combination's amazing. Play about with it and see that you think! -- posted by Rainbow*Bubbles

Frozen Layered Vanilla Raspberry Cake

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:15:43 -0400

From Taste of Home site, this was a huge hit when I served it to friends. Everyone loved it, but someone suggested it would be "over the moon" with a little chocolate. So next time, I'll probably replace one of the sorbet layers with chocolate ice cream or sorbet. Either way, it's easy and delicous as it stands. As written, it's 5 WW pts per serving. Prep time includes final chill. -- posted by Amy020

This recipe doesn't contain Jello but does have cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract, whipped topping (like Cool Whip), fresh strawberries and prepared graham cracker pie crust.

Cheesecake With Strawberries

I made this cake for a birthday and it has been a great success. Very easy-- I only baked the crusty bottom but not the filling. You can use all variety of fruits except kiwi and pineapple because the Gelatin will not work with those ones. The size of the tin depends on you, I used a smaller but deeper one to make it higher... good luck and enjoy! -- posted by dorika #2

Old-Fashioned English Summer Berry Jelly and Ice Cream!

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:17:56 -0400

Little wibbly-wobbly ruby red jellies with mixed summer berries, so cooling and great with ice cream. There is nothing I love more than taking a basket to the end of my garden to pick an assortment of ripe summer berries when they are in season! The sense of satisfaction at picking your own fruit is wonderful. Although I have called these little jellies English summer berry jellies, I DO make these in France of course - it's just that the berries remind me of my grandparent's gardens and picking the fruit when I was little...plus, the combination of berries is the same as a traditional English Summer Pudding recipe! I make these in little vintage metal moulds, they look so pretty served this way; you can of course make this recipe in a large mould, but DO allow extra time for the jelly to set. -- posted by French Tart

Bergamot Fresh Fruit Salad With Scented Pelargonium Leaves

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 10:58:43 -0400

This fruit salad is amazing, and all the more for the addition of bergamot leaves and flowers! The fragrant leaves of this versatile herb delicately flavour the syrup whilst the gorgeous shaggy red flowers and scented pelargonium leaves decorate it for the final finishing flourish! If you are a lover of Earl Gray tea, you will instantly recognise the flavour of this herb, as it is used to flavour this famous and popular tea blend. NOTE: Bergamot, often referred to as bee balm, became distinguished as "Oswego Tea" when a Quaker botanist, John Bartram, sampled a tea made from the leaves. A Bergamot lemon is a small yellow sour citrus fruit similar to an orange, mostly cultivated in Calabria in Italy. The rind contains an essential oil used in perfumery (the basis for eau-de-cologne), confectionary and Earl Grey tea. The zest is also used in pâtisserie. NB: Prep time includes cooling time. -- posted by French Tart

Caramel Apple Salad (Fluffy Apple Salad)

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:12:14 -0400

I got this recipe from my little sister. It was called Caramel Apple Salad, but I personally don't think butterscotch pudding tastes like caramel apples... nonetheless, it is a delightful sweet side dish/salad or dessert. Other recipes I've seen on 'Zaar all have pineapple, so I am posting this one as it does not. I prefer Granny Smith or another tart apple in this salad as it is quite sweet, but you can use whatever apples you have on hand. :) Prep time includes chilling time; may also be frozen. -- posted by Anissa Wolf

Fresh Peaches in Sauternes Soak With Angelica and Lavender

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 20:32:34 -0400

This is a wonderful, light summery dessert, which never fails to please my guests, as well as my family and friends! Fresh peaches are soaked in sweet Sauternes with angelica leaves and lavender flowers tucked amongst them. Angelica is an interesting, aromatic tasting herb, and although I normally only use the stems to candy or crystallise (Recipe #248003) I have discovered that the leaves also make a great accompaniment when used with fresh fruit. Try to serve this fresh fruit salad in a large clear glass bowl for maximum impact; it just looks so pretty with the light shining through the fruit, juices and herbs! I find that the only thing that is needed to serve this is a good dollop of crème fraiche. I have also made this with apricots and melon for a slight change. I like to use a combination of white and yellow peaches for this recipe but please use local and fresh peaches regional to your area. Prep time includes the minimum "soaking" time. I have not tried this with tinned peaches, but suspect that they may be too "soft" to hold their shape for prolonged soaking. -- posted by French Tart

Rocky Road Cream Cheese Fudge

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 01:37:04 -0400

The recipe makes about 2 1/2 pounds of tangy fudge. It will keep for a week in a cool place, in airtight container lined with waxed paper. Be sure to toast the walnuts, they are so much more flavorful. I have carried this recipe ripped from a magazine for 10 years. (Cook time is chill time) -- posted by Chef #806937

Coconut-Layered Pound Cake

I think I would try using a fresh pound cake from the bakery...we will see how it comes out. Hope it is as deelish as it looks! They list this as $1.46 per serving! -- posted by Mommy Diva

Creamy Strawberry Stuff

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 10:19:42 -0400

A few years ago I made a cold peach soup recipe. It was okay as soup, but was amazing as a topping for angel food cake. Since my husband isn't crazy about peaches, I thought I'd try other fruits. Here's what I came up with. With the strawberries, it tastes great on chocolate angel food cake with a dollop of whipped cream. -- posted by Katie's Mom

"just Plain" Vanilla Ice Cream

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 13:42:59 -0400

Although this is just plain vanilla ice cream, it will put any ice cream lover over the edge. It is an American style, meaning no eggs, which also means no cooking and a shorter prep time. But don't let the simplicity fool you. The secret to the exceptional vanilla flavor is the Pure Vanilla Bean Powder. Extract does not even come close, that is why I don't bother with mentioning it as a substitution. This is pure vanilla bean that has bean ground into a powder. It can be hard to find so here is the link for the Madecasse, the brand I use: www.madecasse.com -- posted by Chef Chet

Peachy Fresh Fruit Salad With a Flourish of Angelica and Mint!

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 11:00:08 -0400

This was the first thing I was taught to make at secondary school in Domestic Science! We were all taught to make basic lemon syrup for the fruit salad, a great classic and a standard recipe that I have never forgotten! However, here I have deviated a little and have taken advantage of some excellent local peach syrup instead of the homemade lemon syrup I usually make; and I have garnished the salad with mint and angelica from my herb garden. I have suggested certain fruits to use, but the beauty of a fresh fruit salad is that you can always rustle one up with whatever you have locally and to hand. Serve with fresh pouring cream for a real treat! -- posted by French Tart

Walnut Brownie Energy Bites

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:51:08 -0400

Found this recipe at deliviouslivingmag.com. I haven't tried it, but I've seen recipes like it and wanted to put it here for safe keeping. The brownie bites are super healthy and I think they should be super delicious too. These are essentially raw brownie bites. Here's what it says on the website about them "Decadent and rich, these are made with good-fat almonds and antioxidant-laden cacao and sweetened with fiber-rich Medjool dates. They provide whole-food nutrition, so enjoy as a snack or treat. These can be kept at room temperature for a couple of days or will keep for at least a week refrigerated. Ingredient tips: Bobs Red Mill makes almond meal (flour), but if you cant find it, just use whole raw almonds and process them into a powder using your food processor. Prep tip: Keep batter from sticking to your hands by lightly coating them with coconut oil, olive oil, or even water." -- posted by dimply dots

This is an on-the-fly adaptation of a Food Magazine recipe. I hate whipping cream and always opt for the low-rent option of using Non-Dairy whipped topping.

This uses gluten free brown rice cereal. It can also be dairy free if you sub. margarine for the butter. Kids liked this. It does not stay together as well as regular Rice Krispy treats, but I don't think anything will that doesn't have melted marshmallows! BTW it makes enough to put in a 9x13 pan if you don't have a 9x9. Cooking time is freezer time. -- posted by WI Cheesehead

Silly Easy Chocolate Creme De Menthe Pudding

I was making up a box of sugar free pudding and spotted the bottle of creme de menthe on the shelf. It wouldn't let me ignore it and I thought 'hmm, I wonder' and added a bit into the mix.

Berry Yoghurt Smoothie

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:55:23 -0400

I got this recipe from Sarah Owen's book "The Top 100 juices", published by Lifetime Distributers, Castle Hill, Australia. Sarah Owen says "The super-nutrient vitamin C is needed for more than 300 diferent processes in the body, but it is easily wiped out by smoking, pollution and stress. Found in abundance in berries, vitamin C and other antioxidants help to quash the damaging free radicals that are associated with many illnesses." The original recipe calls for natural bio yoghurt to be used, but any yoghurt will do. This makes a large amount of smoothie, and if you're making it just for yourself, I'ld recommend halving it. I hope you enjoy this healthy - but still tasty - smoothie :) -- posted by TALIA #3

Coconut Ice - Old-Fashioned Sweet Shop Coconut Candy

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:49:09 -0500

A trip down Memory Lane! This is my mum's recipe for Coconut Ice, little coconut squares which are coloured pink and white, and used to be popular in old-fashioned British sweet (candy) shops. My mum used to make trays and trays of these for our Church fêtes, as well as for Christmas and for gifts. These lovely little coconut morsels are very popular in Scotland where I think my mum's recipe originated either from my Scottish grandmother or an auntie. These are great fun to make with the children, as they are easy as well as being "no-cook". If you plan to make them for gifts or to sell, pack them into attractive cellophane bags, glass jars or boxes and add a pretty ribbon as well as a label of ingredients and storage details. This recipe is part of my Old Fashioned Sweet Shop collection of recipes, sweets, candies, fudges, sugar plums and chocolates! -- posted by French Tart

Quick and Easy French Cognac and Crème Fraiche Ice Cream

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 02:09:28 -0500

This is a really easy ice cream to whip up and one that I make every Christmas to go with the Christmas pudding and with my annual Rumtopf or Brandied Cherries and Apricots. You can make it in an ice cream maker if you have one, but as it is a non-custard base ice cream, it works just as well without an ice cream maker. It lasts for one month in the freezer and is a great addition to the summer dining table too! -- posted by French Tart

Festive Sugar Plums - Old Fashioned Sweetmeats

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:37:27 -0500

I love the Nutcracker Ballet and the music that accompanies it, especially the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies! These fabulous little festive sweetmeats are based on a recipe that I adapted from Delia Smith's latest and BRILLIANT cookbook, "Happy Christmas". I have made these TWICE already - as a pre-Christmas dummy run, and they are SO easy as well as being extremely delicious! Sugar plums are mentioned in all forms of literature; most famously in The Night Before ChristmasThe children were nestled, all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads". However, they are a VERY old kind of sweet/candy, and I have traced some recipes right back to the Middle Ages in one guise or another, usually with minced meat hence sweet meat. This recipe can be made as a boozy after dinner adult treat, or with orange juice so the children can dream of them dancing in their heads! NB: These are great fun to make with the children, as they are easy as well as being "no-cook". If you plan to make them for gifts or to sell, pack them into attractive cellophane bags, glass jars or boxes and add a pretty ribbon as well as a label of ingredients and storage details.

Fru... Fru... Fruit Salad!

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 17:06:23 -0500

As a child, I remember my grandmother making this salad for me. I do not 100% know the whole recipe but this is all I could remember. I love this salad because i never liked eating fruits when I was little. This is a salad that even a fruit hater like me would learn to love fruits. ENJOY! (: [ BASICALLY... This recipe you could use any fruits but the ingredients I put down is what i usually put in my salad. Sometimes my grandmother would put some cooked shrimp inside and it turns out amazing! ] -- posted by BOOMBAMBONBON!

Peach Freeze

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 16:41:27 -0500

This recipe is from the side of a large can of SPC Peach Halves in natural fruit juice. The can is 825g (roughly 30 ounces) and the fruit content is labelled at being at least 59% of the can. The original recipe had 2 tablespoons of sugar....but I dont think it's necessary with lovely sweet fruit. Cook time does not include freezing time -- posted by **Jubes**

Chocolate-Wasabi Pudding

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 11:38:42 -0500

Instant chocolate pudding is deepened with additional cocoa powder, heated up with wasabi powder and brightened with lime zest. It will get hotter if left to stand, so if you can't eat it all, start with the lesser amount of wasabi. Be sure to use Dutch cocoa powder; natural isn't as deep in flavor.

A Mere Trifle! Strawberries and Clotted Cream Trifle

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:20:30 -0500

Luscious fresh strawberries nestle amongst light sponge cake sandwiched with strawberry jam, which are then covered with creamy custard and topped with clotted cream. Simple! This trifle may be simple but it is the star on any tea-time or dessert table and if you cannot obtain clotted cream, use whipping cream, heavy cream or double cream instead. Madeira is used in place of sherry in this trifle, which gives a mellow flavour to the trifle. This is a recipe that my mum sent to me, from a cutting in a British magazine promoting Devon and Cornwall in the West Country - home of the Cream Tea! If you wish to serve this to children or non-drinkers, substitute the Madeira with fruit juice of your choice. In the summer scatter some pink rose petals over the top for the ultimate and romantic finish! (Prep time includes the chilling and soaking time.) -- posted by French Tart
