I have had a lovely weekend with family, but visiting with family is a social affair not to be spent isolated in my back-of-the-house kitchen. Except late at night when my Mom and I make fermented collards, kraut, green beans and peppers (maybe next year October will be my month of ferments). Regardless any sweets or treats we have enjoyed have been beyond simple, just like this very basic little recipe. I served this straight on small little dishes as an end to a light meal, however it is wonderful on top of hot chocolate or coffee, pumpkin pie or apple crisp, or really any number of fall treats.
