Followed the recipe right on down to the end & enjoyed every minute of it, from the preparation to the presentation to the eating ~ VERY, VERY NICE! My mom used to make something like this but used a sugar cube (soaked in alcohol) on top of each serving & brought them flaming to the table! Thanks for a great recipe!

This site used to be awesome. It was at the top of its game when it was called Recipezaar, but that was many years ago. The site was purchased by Scripps and belly-flopped into mediocrity. A few of the faithful members remained, hoping to wait out the storm of corporate nonsense. But alas, it never got better and just continued on its terminal path to nothingness. So most of the loyal members have vanished and made homes at better recipe sites.
