Need a quick holiday dessert and not sure what to make? Norelco Microwave Oven Cookbook (North American Philips Corporation, 1979; mine is the second printing) has a recommendation!
Just thicken up that divisive holiday libation-- egg nog-- and stir in a bunch of candied fruit (perhaps left over from making that divisive doorstop of a gift-- fruitcake). Dump it over a yellow or white cake et voilà! The guests will be too full for dessert and ready to head home in no time. And since you made it in the microwave, you didn't even have to put too much effort into this house-clearing dessert. Win-win!
That is worthy of being a bad 4-H recipe (as long as you only use rum flavoring). Pair that with some nice, lemon herb chicken and you will never host anything holiday related again.
ReplyDeleteThe rum might be okay too! The fruit layer gateau in my "Ohio 4-H Blue Ribbon Cookbook" had kirsch and orange liqueur in it. (I'm still shocked that they trusted teens to use alcohol for cooking ONLY.)
DeleteYeah-- this would just be a good way to ruin the rum.
