This recipe, though fussy to make, is attractive and tasty. Cheryl Kaufenberg of Darien said it came from a very old Better Homes & Gardens magazine

Loved this cake very much. The plums became juicy and sweet after baking, which added a great addition to the cake. With a cup of coffee or tea, a perfect afternoon snack.

Old-fashioned Pennsylvania Dutch pickled pears: whole or sliced pears poached in spiced apple cider vinegar syrup with cloves and cinnamon. Traditional canning recipe for the holiday relish tray.

German apple pie with a single flaky crust, layered cinnamon-spiced apples, and heavy cream poured over the top that bakes into a soft custard around the fruit. No top crust, just creamy, spiced apples.

The carrot cake was super moist and delicious, and the icing was buttery and creamy. Such an indulgence. I guess there are plenty of good-for-me stuff in the cake, so I shouldn't feel bad about eating one slice or two :)

Really enjoyed this buttermilk glaze drizzled over my carrot cake, it tasted great but it had much less calories and fat than a rich butter-cream cheese frosting. My husband also liked it very much.

This pie is the perfect balance of sweet and tart with a lovely lattice crust:)

Give a classic pumpkin pie a modern twist with creme fraiche that makes the pie differently rich and delicious. Brandy is an enhancer and makes the pie taste even better with just enough tang.

Wow, delicious. This cake came out wonderful, really loved the apple-cranberry topping that was so fruity and juicy. I used 3/4 cup whole wheat flour and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour to make it a bit healthier, and the cake was buttery and fluffy. It didn't last long at our place with just two of us.

No-bake lemon cheesecake set without gelatin, where lemon juice thickens a cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk filling over a cinnamon crumb crust. Bright, tangy and made entirely in the fridge.
