With the Jewish New Year tomorrow night and close to 20 at my house and another smaller batch the following day I needed several desserts.

I always make these (the description is from Cyndi)

Here you go...original recipe from Gourmet, posted first by Marilyn on Gail's. But to me, it will always be Reba's...

May you have a blessed, peaceful and happy holiday.

Reba's Honey Almond Ginger Biscotti

3/4 c. blanched almonds, toasted

1/2 c. unsalted butter

1/4 c. honey

3/4 c. sugar

1 tsp. vanilla2 lg. eggs

2 3/4 c. flour

3/4 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

1/3 c. crystallized ginger

Combine butter, honey, sugar, vanilla and eggs. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Mix almonds and ginger in. Form 3 logs, 10x2" , place at least 3" apart on greased baking sheeet (use butter wrapper to grease baking sheet). Bake at 325F., 20 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes. Slice; place slices on side, then bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven, turn slices over and bake another 10 minutes. Cool completely before storing in covered container or resealable bags.

I also made a Beekeepers Honey Cake which is still setting but I think it is delicious from the scrap I stole.

Now I need something desserty and I think it will be apple pie and ice cream.

So I do not have an exceptional recipe for apple pie or for pastry so anything would be appreciated.

 
forgot to mention - since my d-i-l's grandmother observes the

dietary rules but is not hysterical about them - that means we can have ice cream but she won't-
I need to do this pie without butter. I can use margarine or fake butter and I know it won't be nearly as good but I can't not give her pie..

 
Happy New Year to Elaine and all that celebrate it!

We will celebrate with our families tonight - one night early - so that we can all get together. I just can't wait for the Challah, chicken soup and matzah balls, tzimmes, etc.!

 
Oooh, I just got this Buckwheat honey that has a deep lusty molasses flavor. This would be perfect.

 
Thanks for the recipes. I will be making one tomorrow and A happy and healthy new year to all who..

are celebrating

Elaine

 
A Happy and Healthy New Year to all who celebrate it. Here's hoping for peace in the New Year.
