Wow that DOES sound good. I wonder what other preserves you could use in place of the canned plums. Peaches or pears maybe?

[TransplantShock]

maybe appricots??? pears might be too soft...cherries would be good too! Especially some of the rum cherries I used to make and can B) I miss my 3 cherry trees but not all the pitting LOL

[HarleyGal]

Mmmm! That sounds lip smackin' good!! :D

[TransplantShock]

The second batch is almost ready to come outta the oven :P I dont have a lot of days where I have time to bake, so I like to do a lot when I do have time. I also cleaned and organized the pantry and kitchen, planted bulbs, cut down /mowed down all the corn stalks, mulched the bare beds (to help keep the pooches frm getting all muddy) and losts more today, whew!

Sounds darn good!

BUT, I hate baking --- or maybe it's - baking hates ME! I'm never successful with it. I either undercook or overcook - or something goes wrong. I don't mind cooking, because you can create your own amounts of seasonings and mix whatever ingredients that you want.......Baking is precision with measurements.

Baking is too strict for me, I guess. GAWD what a lame excuse! ^_^

[TransplantShock]

its the opposite for me LMAO. I usually just throw stuff in and make my own cookies, never exact lol

[MaryG]

Some people have the "touch" for baking and some don't. I'm an OK baker but my daughter is much better. From the very first batch of cookies she made as a little girl she's been able to bake anything she sets her mind to.

You should taste her White Chocolate/Raspberry/Truffle/Trifle!! It's something she makes for us at Christmas, she does it all from scratch too. She makes it in this giant clear glass bowl and it looks as good as it tastes.
