PRUNE KUMQUAT STICKY PUDDING WITH ARMAGNAC TOFFEE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and generously butter an 11-cup Kugelhopf pan (see note, above) or 11-cup bundt pan.
• Halve prunes and in a small saucepan simmer with Armagnac and 3/4 cup water, uncovered, 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon transfer prunes to a shallow dish to cool. Boil Armagnac mixture until reduced to about 1/2 cup and add to prunes.
• Halve kumquats lengthwise and thinly slice crosswise. In a small saucepan bring remaining 1/2 cup water with 1/4 cup granulated sugar to a simmer, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add kumquats and simmer 10 minutes. In a fine sieve drain kumquats and add to prunes.
• Into a bowl sift together flour, baking soda, ginger, allspice, and salt. Resift mixture into another bowl.
• In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter, remaining 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture and prune mixture alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture and beating until just combined.
• Spoon batter into pan (pan will be almost full) and bake in middle of oven 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a rack 10 minutes and turn out onto rack to cool completely. Cake keeps, wrapped in plastic wrap, at room temperature 1 week.
• Garnish cake with kumquats and serve with warm toffee sauce and ice cream.

GRANDMA LEE'S PARADISE PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. Roll 5 graham crackers and set aside to roll the pudding in.
• 2. Roll 20 graham crackers fine
• 3. add dates. marshmallow, and nut meats stir in the evaporated milk
• 4. Put the powdered 5 graham crackers on a board and lay the mixture on it-form a loaf
• 5. put wax paper in a loaf pan and place pudding in, patting all the crumbs in well. set away to let harden for best results make a day before
• 6. To serve lift from pan and cut into desired slices serve with whipped cream
• 7. I used mini marshmallows, and to sweeten the evaporated milk I used about 3T of sugar and a tsp of vanilla, I also ran a little short on graham crackers to roll the pudding in so crushed a few vanilla wafers, I am not sure where I was suppose to set it aside to harden, so I stuck mine in the refrigerator.
