I saw the recipe for Pop Tarts that called for raw jam. I had never thought of making raw jam before, so I started playing. Yummy!

I’m actually still in the process of perfecting this, but here is what I started with and it is already a family favorite. This is best kept in the freezer and has a nice soft/crunchy texture to it. The hardest part about this recipe (besides needing the right equipment) is not eating all the brownie batter while waiting for it to dry! I barely had any left to make this piece you see here because of my nibbling! (So I actually doubled the original recipe that I made. I hope it turns out the same.) If you don’t want to go through the trouble of making and assembling this with the vanilla cream, it also makes great brownies (an try putting jungle peanuts on top!) Yum!

A whole lotta Horchata!~
This is a great tasting drink! It’s basically Mexican sweet rice milk. Usually, it is made with white rice, sugar, and vanilla, but I did not have vanilla and I don’t eat white rice or sugar, so I used brown rice and raisins, and it tasted just the same! It’s heaven in a cup, so drink up!

These delicious light and fluffy balls are really great if you are after a nice treat that is not so heavy as they don’t have any dried fruit, you could make them even lighter by replacing the ground nut/seeds with another cup of buckwheat flour. They look good made into big balls!!
