        Spiced Peaches

        6 pounds fresh peaches
        2 ounces broken stick cinnamon
        1 ounce whole cloves
        3 pounds granulated sugar
        1 pint vinegar
        1 cup water

        Dip peaches in hot water and peel. Tie spices in a muslin bag. Combine sugar, vinegar, water and spices. Boil until clear, about 15 minutes.

        Stick a clove in each peach. Add peaches to jar, enough to fill one jar at a time and cook until tender (8 to 10 peaches). Put a stick of cinnamon in each jar. Fill each jar to overflowing with hot syrup.

                Makes 8 servings.

                20 squares Honey Maid Honey Grahams,
                    finely crushed (about 1 1/2 cups)
                1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
                1 (12 ounce) jar hot fudge sauce, divided

                Mix graham crumbs and butter or margarine until well combined. Press firmly on bottom and side of 9-inch metal pie plate.

                Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely.

                      Posted by admin on 30th June 2009

                      banana pudding

                      Banana Pudding

                      2 large tart apples, grated unpeeled
                      2 tablespoons lemon juice
                      1/2 cup granulated sugar
                      3 egg yolks
                      1/2 cup matzo meal
                      1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
                      1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
                      2 large bananas (for topping)
                      3 egg whites
                      1/8 teaspoon salt
                      2 tablespoons granulated sugar
                      Dash of grated lemon rind

                      Combine grated apple and lemon juice. Beat sugar and egg yolks until creamy and add by stirring in quickly and alternately with matzo meal to which spices have been added.

                      Grease a pudding dish and turn in this mixture. Bake at 325 degrees F approximately 35 minutes, or until set.

                      Turn out on serving plate and top with sliced bananas. Beat egg whites with salt and sugar until thick and spread on top just before serving.

                      This may be eaten cold without topping of bananas and beaten egg white meringue. A dusting of sugar and cinnamon may substitute for egg topping.

                      Serves 6.

                      A man of good will with a little effort and belief in his own powers can enjoy a deep, tranquil, rich life — provided he go his own way. He need not and should not think of making a good living, but rather of creating a good life for himself. To live ones own life is still the best way of life, always was, and always will be. — Henry Miller
