Is MOINK a fruit?

Gore · 06-06-2010, 04:12 PM

Saw plenty of recipes for cherries jubilee, but none for chocolate cherries jubilee. I cooked some cherries, with a little wine and a little sugar and a little corn starch and a little butter.

Then I poured this on top of some French vanilla ice cream, added some chunks of chocolate and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

Then I added some cherry brandy to the top (Chris, use this pic)

and watched it all get melty and gooey

Dammit Gore! That is too good! It's not fair! Nice work by the way.

It's not fair!

Thanks Chris, but you and I both know that isn't going anywhere, even without the Moink-berries that are bound to be submitted.

bigabyte · 06-06-2010, 05:35 PM

Yeah, it's probably too good. Since I'd vote for it, you'll probably wind up in the middle of the pack.

Well, I hope it'd get your vote at this point, since it's the only one entered!

I'm expecting some yummy entries for this one. It's an interesting category.

I would vote for the last shot. Thus condemning Gore to the bottom of the heap. No, I will use my vote for Ecode, gotta slow her down a bit.

ecode · 06-06-2010, 08:57 PM

Well Bob, I figure if you're going to vote for me, I better submit something. All sorts of fruit and berries are coming into season, and like usual I couldn't make up my mind what to make, so I baked a few of my husband's favorite things.

I began by pitting cherries

until I had a nice bowl of them

I mixed them with sugar and cornstarch let them maserate for 20 minutes. I lined some muffin tins with cream cheese pastry dough and baked these in the oval for about 40 minutes at 325*. Muffin tins are so versatile, did you know you can actually bake muffins in them?

On to Blueberries. We have some high bush blueberries in the backyard just ripening, not enough for turnovers, so I supplemented with store bought.

I baked the blueberry turnovers and some tartlet shells.

I filled the shells with vanilla custard, covered with strawberries, and topped with melted apricot preserves

I topped the cherry dumplings with whipped cream just before serving.

I placed these in a basket

and served them up for my husband with a glass of milk

bigabyte · 06-06-2010, 10:01 PM

You're killing me here! Killing me I say! I have to wait until late Summer for my blueberries.

Amber · 06-06-2010, 10:50 PM

Ok so I started out with peaches, apricots and mangos. Dusted with cinnamon sugar then off to the grill. Mixed up batter of flour,sugar, milk and almond extract. Peeled and chopped the fruit then into a simple syrup bath. Melted a stick of butter, added batter then fruit. Cooked 45 min. Topped with whipped cream. Please use last pic as entry.

Alan in Ga · 06-06-2010, 11:03 PM

I can't compete agianst Amber in this catagory so this is the best I can do.

Gore · 06-06-2010, 11:07 PM

Thanks Amber. That looks soooo delicious. I especially loved the shot on the grill. I know those peaches and apricots are the sweet tasty ones that we hardly ever get here. I'm so jealous.

Gore · 06-06-2010, 11:09 PM

So Alan, did you do him on the grill or in the smoker?

bigabyte · 06-06-2010, 11:18 PM

I'm gaining weight just looking at these pics! Except Richard Simmons. For some reason he makes me want to dance to the oldies.
