A nice dessert is what we Zappa lovers call Peaches en Regalia, simply use fresh <preferred> peeled or canned peaches, mix in healthy amounts of lime juice, honey, fresh grated ginger and zest of lime, lemon, and orange, add a dash of the orange juice if you want it sloppier and don't mind the looks you get eating it, and let it sit in the fridge for a couple-three hours. It is, as my hippy friends used to say, "the whip" over vanilla ice cream, and would and has been a real kicker with the addition of a bit of finely ground pepper powder of your choice, I really like either Calvin's or chipotle. The sugars and citrus really blend beautifully with the heat. This is also a great basis for a canned preserve if you up the sugars and thicken down the liquid with a bit of cooking. The REALLY decadent ones can cook in a bit of candied ginger as I once did when faced with an overabundance <thank you bulk department for overordering again!!> ...... variations using mango and apricot were also tried with great success. Go nuts, it feels great. Diane P.S. I have no blood in my caffine system! > > Hey Folks > Wondering if anyone out here has dessert recipes with a > lil kick?
