Long ago, before corn syrup was around, pecan pie was sweetened with cane syrup, sorghum, or maple syrup. I used maple syrup and brown sugar in this recipe and added a little chocolate too!
These cupcakes remind me of all the delicious snacks my mom would greet me with when I got home from school. You can easily leave off the icing and serve them warm with vanilla ice cream.
Nothing says comfort food like Chocolate Cream Pie. I lighten this rich dessert by using skim milk in the filling and substituting a meringue topping for the whipped cream topping.
In the south we have ways of incorporating peaches into every course. This soup can be a starter, side dish, or even dessert and the taste is absolute heaven.
This simple dessert has just the right amount of sweetness and the honey flavor really shines through. You can also serve these glazed peaches with grilled salmon or pork.
This is one of those recipes that every southern cook has on hand. We always top with fresh strawberries that have been marinating in a little sweetened condensed milk. Top it with whipped cream and you have the perfect Strawberry Shortcake.
My mom always made a huge batch of these to give to friends at Christmas along with her famous toasted pecans. They are incredibly rich and delicious and a large glass of milk is a must when devouring these.
