These sound luscious!! I think we're both on a raisin kick?
ReplyDeleteTamy: Yup. How do we do that long distance? I love raisins, even out of hand as a little snack.
ReplyDeleteooh, these sound great -- EXCEPT for the raisins, haha! I will have to leave them out when we try it :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my entry for today: http://coyotecraft.blogspot.com/2009/05/fruit-jams-from-fannie-farmer-vintage.html
Bean: LOL! Well, that's OK, you can be part of the cool group even if you don't like raisins. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou could easily skip the raisins all together or replace that ingredient with a lot of options. Chocolate covered cherries? Any fruit or nut would work well.
these do sound good! I would have to leave the raisins out though, as DH is not a fan. But if I put them in, I could hoard the whole batch!
ReplyDeleteMy recipes are up - two funny family cookie recipes that have me puzzled!
Gudrun: Or do half with and half without and you'll both win.
ReplyDeleteOld family recipes are special. I'm on my way to find out what's so funny and puzzling about them. :-)
