Sugar Crusted Rum Cake Submitted by Francine Geldart Ingredients 1 pkg Duncan Hines yellow cake mix 2 tbsp rum Syrup: 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar 6 tbsp water 1/4 cup of rum Instructions
Cut oranges and lemons into quarters and remove seeds. Grind the fruit, chop fine, or cut crosswise into wafer-thin slices. Add water and soda. Bring to boil and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cranberries and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Measure five cups of fruit into a very large saucepan. Add sugar and mix well. Put over high heat, bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and at once stir in pectin. Skim off foam with a metal spoon. Then stir and skim for seven minutes to cool slightly and to prevent floating fruit. Ladle into hot sterilized jars and seal. Makes about eight 1/2-pint jars. Lemon Cream with Berries Submitted by Kendra Dellacherie Ingredients 3 cups (750 ml) whipping cream 35% 3/4 cup sugar ½ cup plus 4 to 6 tbsp of lemon juice 1 cup of fresh assorted berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) Fresh mint leaves for garnish Directions Bring the cream and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan, then reduce the heat and simmer for four to five minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let it sit for about ten minutes. Pour into individual desert dishes. Refrigerate for at least two hours. To serve, garnish with fresh berries and a sprig of mint. Serves about six depending on dish size.
Mix cake as per package directions, but instead of 2/3 cup of water, put in 2 tbsp. of rum, then add water to make 2/3 cup. Bake in a greased and floured tube pan at 350°F for 40 to 50 minutes. When the cake is removed from the oven, boil all syrup ingredients for one minute. Then pour over the hot cake. Let it stand for ten minutes.
