Desserts needed...

[Nana]

As I have been contemplating Bazooka's Smokin' Butts, and Steve's ABTs and Fatties....... and yes, salivating ........ I got thinking that we really need some dessert to top off all this good cookin'. So I'll start the thread, but I hope we get a ton of wonderful dessert ideas added here!

I headed down a few houses to a neighbor who has more blackberries than they and the birds can eat, and came home with enough fat, juicy tart/sweet goodness to fill two pies.

After washing and draining them well, while I rolled out the dough and lined a couple of pie dishes, I tossed them gently with sugar, flour, and cinnamon and piled the unbaked crusts high with all that goodness! (I only ate one of those juicy sugar/cinnamon coated tidbits while I topped them with strips of dough........ really! You do believe me, don't you? :no Top crusts brushed with milk and sprinkled with sugar, and into the oven for 45 minutes while the house filled up with good smells.

Meanwhile ......

At our house, I'm not allowed to discard even a little bit of pie dough! The kids used to hang around the kitchen to be sure I made "Squirrelies" with it.

(I know----they thought they were saying "swirlies", but the way they said it was cute, and it stuck!).

I roll out all the left over dough, smear it with a light coating of butter, evenly spread it with brown sugar and sprinkle it with cinnamon, then roll it up into a log and cut it into 1/2-inch bits. These are laid out on a cookie sheet and popped into the oven for 12-15 minutes. And as soon as they are cool enough to not blister your tongue, they get eaten! Tiny little bite-sized cinnamon rolls; mmmmmmmmmmm good!

And now the pies are done too....... who wants a piece? There is more than enough to share. All we need is some icecream..........

[Nana]

Seemed like a good day for a new pie to share with y'all, and of course the tasty little "squirrelies" from the leftover pie dough.

This is Mike's favorite pie in the whole world --- Walnut Pie. Yes, follow your favorite pecan pie recipe only substitute english walnuts. I did this one day years ago when I was out of pecans and he has refused to let me use pecans ever since. He swears this is much better.

Come on -- you KNOW you want some !!!!

SUMMER SURPRISE DESSERT


1 cup fresh seedless grapes, halved


1 cup fresh whole blueberries


1 cup fresh strawberries, halved


1 cup fresh peaches, cut in bite-sized pieces


1 cup firmly packed brown sugar


2 cups dairy sour cream


In shallow 9-by-12-inch glass dish, combine all fruit and mix
well. Sprinkle brown sugar over the fruit. Top with sour
cream. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 3 to 4 hours or
overnight. The sour cream will seep through the brown sugar
to the fruit.


To serve, gently stir the fruit; spoon into sherbet glasses.


TIP: Any combination of fruits may be used: fresh plums, kiwi,
raspberries, pitted bing cherries, etc. However, FRESH peaches,
FRESH grapes and FRESH blueberries are a necessity. Frozen or
canned fruits are NOT recommended.

A snack food that is easy to carry and tastes great.

Fake PayDay

2 large bags Candy Corn (the kind you can only get at Halloween)
2 cans salted peanuts (lightly salted works but does not taste as good)

Mix together in a large bowl, cover and store until ready for a light snack. You can do a portion control for kids by putting 2/3 cup into a snack zip lock bag. They get a "whole bag" to themselves and think they have something great. Good for those long trips when you get the munchies.

As it is my birthday, I thought I'm make myself my favorite pie ever!!!!! And share it with y'all, of course .

This is a recipe I got from an Amish lady several years ago. Her Fresh Peach Pie was utterly heavenly, and she was gracious enough to tell me how she made it. It is really very simple, but worth every moment it takes to get it ready.

Prepare and bake a 9" pie crust per instructions and set it aside to cool completely. I have used purchased pie crust dough, and it works great, but when I have the time I much prefer home made.

In a medium sauce pan stir together:

• enough mashed fresh peach to make approximately 1 cup
• 3 tablespoons corn starch
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water

Stirring pretty much constantly, bring this glaze mixture to a boil over medium heat. Continuing stirring and boiling for one minute. Remove it from heat and allow it to cool.

• Peel and thinly slice about 6 large peaches --- enough to fill the pie crust up full and heaping.
• Gently toss the sliced peaches in about half of the cooled glaze mixture, and fill the cooled pie crust with them.
• Spoon the remaining glaze over the peach slices (I don't always need all of it, but I keep any remaining glaze for my next morning waffle )
• Chill the pie for at least three hours.
• Serve with whipped cream.

I happened to get about 1/2 each of white and yellow peaches this time, so you'll note the two-tones in the pictures. But guess what...... it still tastes heavenly! :yes:
