Barb's Special Sweet Breads Part 7
He who distinguishes the true savor of his food can never be a glutton; he who does not cannot be otherwise. |
| Henry David Thoreau |
This special feeling towards fruit, its glory and abundance, is I would say universal.... We respond to strawberry fields or cherry orchards with a delight that a cabbage patch or even an elegant vegetable garden cannot provoke. |

ALMOND BUTTER: Cream together the sugar and butter, then blend in the
almonds, making sure to mix well.
ICING: Beat the sugar and water together until completely blended.
Drizzle over the pastry and garnish with cherries and almonds if
desired.
VANILLA CREAM: Combile all the ingredients except the vanilla in a
saucepan. Blend and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove
from heat and stir in the vanilla. Whip mixture occasionally to keep
it from forming a film, if not using immediately.
PLUMP CURRANTS: Sprinkle the rum or cognac over the currants (or
raisins) and set aside until they have been plumped.
EGG WASH: Beat together the egg and water, mixing well. Reserve for
use as needed.
