Blueberry & Peach Trifle
Posted by Kelly
Preparation time - 15 minutes
Yield - 8 servings
9 peaches
3 cups (750 mL) Parmalat 35% Cream
1/4 cup (50 mL) granulated sugar
24 ladyfingers
1/3 cup (75 mL) dry sherry or rum
3 cups (750 mL) fresh blueberries
Peel and slice peaches.
In a large bowl, whip Parmalat 35% Cream with sugar until it will hold soft peaks.
Spread a third of whipped cream over bottom of a large glass bowl or serving dish that will hold at least 10 cups (2.5 L).
Layer with 12 ladyfingers, breaking them into pieces if necessary, to completely cover cream.
Brush fingers with half of sherry.
Cover with 1 cup (250 mL) blueberries and a third of peaches.
Spread another third of whipped cream over berries.
Cover with remaining ladyfingers.
Brush fingers with remaining sherry and cover with 1 cup (250 mL) blueberries and a third of peaches.
Top with remaining cream, berries and peaches.
Cover and refrigerate.
Trifle will keep well for 3 to 4 hours. After that time, peaches may darken.

Pierogy Dip
Posted by Jeanne
2 pkgs creamed cheese, cut into chunks
1 Babybel cheese (red cellophane)
1 sm. onion, chopped & grilled
6 strips bacon, cooked until crisp & cut into tiny chunks
Place creamed cheese & Babybel cheese into covered baking dish & heat in oven at approx. 200º until melted, stirring occasionally.
In the mean time, fry bacon & onions.
When cheeses are melted, stir onion & bacon into cheese mixture.
That's it! Just be sure to keep it warm, as it gets awfully thick & hard to dip when cooled.
I serve it with Greek style pita, cut into wedges & baked for a few minutes with olive oil brushed on & garlic salt sprinkled on.
Yummy!
