Mincemeat is especially nice to have on hand for adding a remarkable depth to fruited pie fillings. I also like to use it as a filling for crepes, and sometimes incorporate several tablespoons into a stuffing for the holiday turkey. Jarred, this mincemeat has a lifespan of about a year in the refrigerator of course. Dried Fruit & Spice Mincemeat makes a nice hostess gift for a friend who likes to cook.
Pilgrims ate baked goods with almost every meal and apple pie was a favorite. The pilgrims brought many of their favorite fruits with them to North America. Colonists brought young apple trees from England and planted apple orchards. Pilgrim women used the apples to make apple pie, which quickly became a favorite dessert. Pilgrims even ate apple pie for breakfast.
This dessert takes its name from the flaky pastry used to wrap around the filling like a Strudel, the old German word for “whirlpool,” or “vortex.” In Germany, it was a traditional harvest-time dessert. The thin pastry itself originated with the Turks. Strudel is best served the same day it is baked, and warming it for ten minutes in a 350 degree oven enhances it, especially if you serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
A long standing tradition of Halloween and other fun occasions, apples dipped in caramel are easy to make at home. Nuts are optional!
I confess that I’m partial to Dr. Pepper soda and when I heard about using it in baking it made perfect sense to me. This cake is a tasty morning cake snake cake, or after dinner dessert cake.
These Pumpkin Moon Pies are the perfect fall dessert. They are great for Halloween, Thanksgiving or anytime. Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
Just because it’s officially Fall and you’re not sitting around a campfire doesn’t mean that you have to wait an entire year to indulge in such an awesome treat. My Nutella S’Mores is a twist on the classic chocolate meets marshmallows and graham crackers.
I love how the sweet crunchy topping compliments the tartness of the plums. I like to serve this dessert warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you want to make this crisp gluten-free you can swap out the flour with either almond meal or almond flour.
Savor sweet, juicy peaches this summer cooked on the grill. Showcase this healthy dessert with a nice sweet & tangy sauce. You may serve with frozen yogurt or fresh berries.
This easy dessert captures summer perfectly. It’s important to let the crisp cool enough so the ice cream doesn’t melt immediately, but rather melts and mingles slowly with the peach and plum juices, making its own delicious sauce. If you happen to have any crisp left over, it is delicious layered with plain yogurt for an indulgent breakfast parfait.
