" Barber's" Baked Apples
"Another fine recipe from James Barber... A perfect "warm-me-up" dessert after an afternoon of tobogganing or skiing. HINT: Use large, crisp baking apples... You could use maple syrup instead of the brown sugar, figs or chopped dates instead of the raisins or white wine or apple cider instead of the apple juice. * McIntosh apples are not recommended in this recipe."

I am a busy single mom of 5 growing boys!!
My children's ages are 21,18,14,12 and 10 1/2.
In my spare time,when I have any, I try to walk 3 miles a day.I like to read Woman's World and inspirational books and if I didn't have 5 beautiful boys to care for, I would probably be doing missionary work.
I live in the beautiful Okanagan Valley in British Columbia and I swear we must be living in Heaven on earth!!!I would love to travel if I had the resources and time with Brazil and South America being on the top of my list of places to see.
