"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Golden Fruit & Nut Bars

 

Ingredients

1/4 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
1 tsp orange rind, grated
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup corn syrup
1/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 tsp vanilla
6 cup cornflakes cereal



 

Preparation

You can add sesame and sunflower seeds and coconut to these (to
imitate Nature Classics from Confectionately Yours). I found
refrigerating them made them easier to cut." Anne's note: the one's
I've tried had dried apricots, sunflower seeds and coconut in them
(like an upscale Rice Krispie).

Combine dates, almonds, apricots and orange rind, set aside. In large,
heavy saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Stir in corn syrup and
sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar is
dissolved and mixture comes to a full boil. Remove from heat, stir in
vanilla. Add cereal and fruit-nut mixture, stirring till evenly
coated. Press mixture firmly into greased 9 inch square pan. When
partially cool, cut into bars. Cool completely. MAKES 16 to 24 BARS
(Butter can be melted by microwaving at High 30-60 seconds, stir in
syrup and sugar, microwave at High for 2 to 3 minutes or till sugar
is dissolved, stirring 3 times. Continue as above.)
