This recipe is an adaptation of one published in Domino magazine.

Ingredients

• 4 pints strawberries, cut and stemmed
  
• 1 + 1/4 cups milk
• 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp sugar
• 10 tbsp all purpose flour
• 1 + 1/2 tbsp of lemon juice
• 1 cup heavy/double/whipping cream
• prepackaged graham cracker crust
  

1. Place strawberries in blenders (reserving a handful for decoration) and puree.

2. In a medium saucepan combine milk, flour and 3/4 cup of sugar on medium high heat. Whisk or stir until well blended. Add strawberry puree and lemon juice, continue mixing until sauce thickens and bubbles.

Creamy Mango Cardamom Sorbet

Ingredients

• 2 mangoes, sliced
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (Possible Substitutions: half and half, single cream)
• 1/4 cup lowfat milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1/4 cup agave nectar
• 6 cardamom pods, shelled with seeds ground.

Possible Substitutions: instead of corn syrup and agave, which was all I had at the time, make a simple syrup instead. To do this combine 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sugar in saucepan, boil and cool. Omit additional water from the recipe, follow directions below:

1. Add all ingredients to a bowl or mixer and blend well. If you would like chunks of mango, reserve a few pieces and add to mixture after blended.
2. Add to ice cream maker. Freeze thoroughly.
   If you do not have an ice cream maker, just place in an airtight container and place in the freezer. Take it out and stir once an hour for 3 hours, or until it's frozen.
   

JACKED - P.D.'s Peach Cobbler

This recipe is a hijacked version of Paula Deene's Peach Cobbler. I changed the recipe around with a few substitutions, and it came out great.

Ingredients

• 5 medium to large peaches, peeled and sliced
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 stick of butter (8tbl)
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups milk
  
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine peaches with water, nutmeg and 1 cup sugar (I SUBSTITUTED WITH 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup agave nectar) in saucepan, mix, bring to a boil.

Put the butter in a 9x13 baking pan and place in oven to melt.

Mix 1 cup sugar, flour and milk in bowl. Make sure there are NO clumps. Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir.

Spoon fruit and cooking liquid on top. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

Bake for 50 minutes.

Serve with ice cream and enjoy.
