I love the baked apples as I can leave out the butter and forget about the unmentionable things like cream and custard!

I've read the list of ingredients I will require and have everything on hand except oranges and lemons. Tell you what I will do. I'll drink the Grande Marnier until I have enough nerve to climb my neighbor's fence and pick an orange or two from his tree. I'll let you know how the Pond Pudding comes out..... Thanks again! Magpie,

My mother would permit us baked apples though, baked in sugarless ginger ale. In the centre of the cored apples she placed three (and only three, because she was meticulous that way-just as she rationed out the raisins to have the exact "serving size") cinnamon heart candies which melted and coloured the apples. Oh, I know-it sounds terrible, but strangely enough it satisfied the desire for a sweet. I grew up in a household of diabetics, so dessert was a rare and often sugarless thing.

Magpie - I like to ring the changes with the apples, and since so many of my readers come from outside the UK and unable to get Bramleys, I included the dessert apples this time. Anyway Monday recipe would be nothing without the suggestions for variations in the comments. Nancy - Never mind baked lemons and oranges.... just slice them and add them to the punch. :roll: Scratch that, here comes Magpie to your rescue.
