Caramelised Peach with Sparkling Jelly and Double Cream / Karamelliserte Ferskener med Musserende Gelé og Pisket Kremfløte

A dessert recipe found in “Best of the best 2” a free E-book
published by Dairy Australia

And I thought Australians were sober and down to earth and here
they offer us a party dessert that borders on to the ultra-decadent.
But when you think of it, we all deserve a little decadence from
time to time, don’t we

Pabst-ett Frozen Peach Custard / Pabst-ett Frossen Ferskenpudding

A dessert recipe found in “Recipes the Modern Pabst-ett Way”
published by the Pabst Corporation in 1931

Pabst-ett was a cheese prodused by Pabst brewery during Prohibition. Many breweries turned to alternative pruducts back then.  After Prohibition ended in 1933, Pabst sold the cheese business off to Kraft who continued to produce Pabst-ett cheese until at least the late 1940’s. If you want to try your hand at this recipe, use any cheese to your taste you think might go well with the rest of the recipe ingredients.

Caribbean Banana Bread / Karibiske Bananbrød

A interesting bread recipe found on sbs.com.au

Sweet potato gives an added dimension here – extra moistness, extra sweetness and a touch of earthiness too. You could use steamed mashed pumpkin if you prefer, substitute wholemeal flour for plain white or, if peanuts don’t float your boat, scatter any other nut over the top.

   

Peaches in Dressing Gowns / Ferskener i Slåbrok

A fancy dessert cake recipe found in “Dessertkaker”
(Dessert Cakes) published by Hjemmets Kokebokklubb in 1980

Now a days you can get fresh peaches at almost any well stocked grocers most pleaces, but still, canned peaches are prefered by many both for baking as well as for desserts. Perhaps, at least for people my age, they bring such nice childhood memories of those golden half globes topped with sweetened whipped cream for Sunday desserts –Ted
