Sounds wonderful, I think I like this one better.


Lovely with the peach brandy!


AND keep in a tin of powdered sugar! (How about some candied grapefruit peel?)


Mr too, ga.. less "candied" stuff. I thank you for your five,
Lorraine


I wondered whether peach might NOT be the answer, midge. My choice would probably have been plain old brandy.. no specific flavor. However, I have come to trust your judgement on things food so perhaps I'll listen to your wisdom here. Thanks for the 5,
Lorraine


A tin of powdered sugar for REAL, pie? I've never heard of that and now I need to check if there's candied grapefruit peel on your page.
