  1. This was delicious. With my addition of a homemade sponge cake (Nick Malgieri recipe), it would be 5 stars. It was a light and lovely summer dessert. I needed far more of the liqueur mixture and basted it on the cake layers with a pastry brush. Be sure your peaches are at least a little ripe or they are too hard. It's lovely and I will be making it and other fruit/liqueur variations over and over.
     
  2. Absolutely fabulous dessert! I made it for a potluck at work and was asked for the recipe over and over!

About me....well...let's see,right now I am a married, stay-at-home Mom to two beautiful children, a 10 year old daughter and a 7 year old son....they are the "lights" of my life, which I think I pretty much spent waiting for them! I feel so very lucky (and truly blessed) to be their "Mommy". I don't know that I have a fave cookbook, (and I have rarely opened one of the many I have, since finding Zaar.) I just LOVE recipes and have been "acquiring" them since I was a teenager! Actually I think I bought my first cookbook in like grade two or three, a cookie recipe book from one of those scholastic book orders!
