Title: DECADENT WHIPPED CREAM BISCOTTI
Categories: Desserts, Italian, Cookies
Yield: 4 servings

Water
Sugar
Rosewater
Ginger, ground
Almond Syrup
Maple Syrup
Biscotti
Whipping Cream
Fruit, fresh

Prepare a simple syrup by bringing 2 parts of water and 1 part sugar to a
boil.
Remove from heat and add flavoring. Rosewater (to taste) for a Middle
Eastern accent or ground ginger (and use the ginger biscuits) for a
spicier dish or choose almond syrup or maple syrup or a good shot of
brandy.
Place as many biscotti as desired in a shallow bowl or on a plate.
Spoon a little of the hot syrup over the biscotti. You will use
approximately 1 Tbsp per cookie. Let soak for 5 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, whip some cream. You’ll want about 1 Tbsp per cookie. By
the time the cream is whipped, the biscotti should be softened.
Drain off any excess syrup and spoon the cream onto the soaked
cookies. Serve immediately. (Good, too, the next day when it’s
soggy). Fresh fruit such as strawberries or cherries are a wonderful
foil against the dessert’s sweet richness.

Title: Jalapeno Pizza Crust for the breadmachine
Categories: Breadmachin, Ornish, Low fat, Hot spicy
Yield: 4 crusts

1/2 c Lukewarm water
1 T Just Shortening or
Prune puree
3 T Chopped jalapenos w/ juice
1/4 t Salt
2 c Bread flour
1 t Active dry yeast

Place ingredients in your bread machine in the order recommended
by your machine’s manufacturer. Set to dough cycle.

NOTE: Watch to dough and add more water slowly (up to 1/4 cup more)
until the dough obtains the proper consistency. Check the dough again
during the 2nd kneading — mine got a bit thin and I added some
organic blue corn meal until the consistency was right.

NOTE: Just Shortening can be purchased at your local health food
store and consists of a combination of plum puree and prune puree and
is a very thick consistency.
