Peaches in Muscat from Nigella

One of the most simple summer desserts, peaches macerated in the sweet wine muscat and served in a glass if you like or a bowl. 2 ingredients with a 3rd optional, nigella lawson does it again.

Otherwise you can, as nigella suggests also put a plate of ripe peaches and bottle of muscat on the table -- posted by MarraMamba

Deep Dish Peach Streusel Pie

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:10:43 -0400

This is VERY loosely based on some of the pie instructions in How to Cook Everything. I've done a lot of adjusting and tweaking. A food processor is used to make the pie dough. I like the filling with all brown sugar, but you can substitute all white sugar, or use a combination. The topping is best with brown sugar. I prefer walnuts for the topping, but any kind of nut is okay. -- posted by Chocolatl

Confetti Ambrosia Jam

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:38:15 -0400

Was getting desperate to finish using up the lovely little green pears I was given & made several recipes from Zaar. I loved the color and flavor composition of Recipe#94467 but it is so sweet it made my teeth ache. After making Recipe#137323 I realized I could increase the lemon juice & use no-sugar pectin. Since Amy's recipe reminded me of ambrosia I decided to add the coconut shreds & am very pleased with the results - translucent shavings of pear & orange with bright pink flecks of cherry in a nicely set brilliant coral jam - and not too sweet. I used the slicing blade on my Cuisinart to cut the peeled pears & whole orange & scissor snipped the cherries. -- posted by Buster's friend

Bohemian Kolaches With Four Fillings

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:11:38 -0400

Received this in an email - it is a BIG recipe with four wonderful fillings. I suspect each filling as listed would fill the MANY kolaches this recipe will make. The first go round I plan to halve the recipe probably quarter two of the fillings. BTW, Myrtle did not indicate whether the apricots were fresh or dried - I am going with dried when I make it. She didn't give a cook time either - so watch closely after 15 minutes. No yield either so I am guesstimating on 100+. Thanks, Myrtle Killian! -- posted by Buster's friend

I adapted this from Better Homes & Gardens Diabetic cookbook. I have changed a few things. They say in the testing kitchen, they discovered if they added a little vanilla extract to the shake, they didn't need a sweetner. Feel free to add a little honey or sweetner if you feel it needs it. If you partially freeze the banana and yogurt, you can leave out the ice. -- posted by Sharon123

I'm looking forward to when Colorado peaches are in season again so that I can make this delicious pie! This one uses apricot Jello in the filling. Prep time does not include time needed in the refrigerator to set. -- posted by The Wallaces
