"A wonderful old family recipe for HUGE and very light spiced Hot Cross Buns! I discovered that most of the hard work is taken out of making these, by proving & kneading them in the Bread Maker/Machine......unless you NEED to expel any frustrations, and then you MUST knead these yourself! You can make the crosses by either marking them before baking..."

Ingredients: ground mixed spice, pastry dough...

"I live and grew up in the midwest and here what makes a cobbler is a top and bottom crust.
This crust is kneaded in order to have a true cobbler texture which is a bit tougher texture than a cake or pie dough.
I also prefer using margarine instead of butter for the small salt content that adds flavor. I have adjusted the sugar amount in..."

Ingredients: cinnamon, fresh peaches...

"There are several recipes on 'Zaar that feature the combination of sweet peaches with pork chops, roasts or tenderloins. This one is unique not only in its spices but in its preparation. A featured entree from Dream Dinners, the franchise that helps families prepare make-ahead meals, this dish recently appeared in Family Circle magazine. I've..."

Ingredients: pepper, cornstarch...

"These are great little "light as a feather" and meltingly crisp English style biscuits, or cookies. This recipe is the slightly adapted recipe from the Be-Ro Flour cookbook - they suggest lard, but I don't "do" lard! Melting Moments ALWAYS made an appearance on my grandmother and mum's afternoon tea table, and we also had..."

Ingredients: desiccated coconut, oats...

"This is my gingery variation on my neighbor's recipe."

Ingredients: fresh lemon rind, fresh ginger...

"Rumtopf (rum pot) is a traditional German beverage. There are many variations. Take this recipe as a more general blue print for your own recipe. The traditional way of making this beverage starts as early as the fresh fruit are available in spring / summer and ends with the last fresh fruit in autumn. But today you can make in "1-step",..."

Ingredients: fruit, rum, sugar...

"Bananas are my favorite fruit. I also love the sweetness of a daiquiri, so when I found this recipe (heaven only knows where), I thought they were wonderful! If you're not a Rum-Runner (FFF reference), feel free to sub in a few drops of rum extract to taste."

Ingredients: lime juice, lime zest, milk...

"A very tasty cookie I came up with to use up leftover cherries and coconut that is now a favorite in this house!"

Ingredients: cherry juice, maraschino cherries...

"These cookies have a crispy exterior and a soft and chewy interior. The various flavours and textures (rich dark chocolate, chewy sour cherries, and sweet crisp toffee) combine to produce a deliciously addictive cookie. From Regan Daley's cookbook, "In The Sweet Kitchen: The Definitive Baker's Companion". If you are using cherries,..."

Ingredients: dark brown sugar, eggs...

"This is one of my favourite Christmas cake recipes & is usually the one I end up making. It is a make-ahead cake which gets better for maturing a while. It's very fruity & has a delectable mulled wine taste to it - the nuts make it a very special cake too. I don't usually marzipan or ice this cake, although I have done when under pressure..."

Ingredients: cinnamon, cinnamon sticks...

"This can be a make ahead or chill for an hour recipe. It is from the Canadian Living
May 2007 issue."

Ingredients: lemon juice, rhubarb, sugar...

"A delightful and EASY scone recipe that is perfect for a proper afternoon tea or to take on a picnic. Dried sour cherries are sensational and give a deep essence of cherry flavour to these scones, whilst the buttermilk makes them light and airy. This is a casual eating scone, easy to rustle up, and is perfect when eaten fresh from the oven with butter..."

Ingredients: bicarbonate of soda, granulated sugar...

"When my two fig trees are in season, I struggle to cope with the amount of fruit they produce..........a rather nice problem I have to admit! We eat figs fresh with nearly every meal; I make jams, conserves and also bottle the fruit in liquor. However, this is one of my favourite ways of using some of my fresh figs, and this chutney is just amazing..."

Ingredients: demerara sugar, fresh ground black pepper...

"I got this recipe from my Spanish teacher, who was from Bogota, in the early 1970s. Because of the long chilling time, the fruit gets kind of funny-looking, but it's wonderful to eat when the sangria is gone! I'm guessing at the number of servings. Prep time does not include chilling time."

Ingredients: sparkling water, dry red wine...
