Fall is here, in all it’s glory . . . although we are in the 80’s today. That is very unusual for Idaho! I’m not complaining though – I love fall. I love the leaves falling from the trees, the smells of harvest and the abundance from our gardens. I’ve been anxious to try a new Cobbler […]

    A gorgeous cobbler! I love that cpmbination. As a matter of fact, I’ve already made 2 cobblers this week… ;-P

    I’ve eaten peach cobbler before but never thought to add caramel sauce to it. That sounds like it would add a wonderful layer of richness to the filling. I’ve been enjoying some peaches too in some peach jam that I made and posted on my blog. Peaches are definitely the best part of summer.ReplyCancel

    Okay, personally I think you should stop after the raspberry jam. I don’t know what it is but I’m always leery of adding coconut to desserts that have other flavors going on. Don’t get me wrong. I love coconut, just plain coconut, not coconut and anything else. Oh, wait…I can take coconut with bananas and pineapple but anything else and I’m always leery. 🙂

    Btw, I’ve been thinking about that pan since the last time you used it.

    These are great! I made these for the black belts at the dojo and everyone loved them.

    I used seedless raspberry preserves and almonds, and layered everything in a 9 x 13 pan. They’re quite sweet, so next time I’ll add some dark chocolate chips or chunks on top of the raspberry layer. Don’t leave out the coconut – it adds a nice, chewy texture to the bars.

    I think these would be great with whatever flavor preserves or jam is your favorite.ReplyCancel

This happens to be one of my husbands favorite desserts! I believe it’s because it’s not too sweet. You see . . . he really doesn’t have a sweet tooth like I do. That makes life difficult at times. Therefore . . . Most sweet things made in this kitchen are given away! It’s also […]

    Hey hey! Alright, so I tried your recipe however, I had to make the Bavarian Cream from scratch as we don’t have Prepared Pantry in Ireland.

    Anyway, they were lovely except when I cut them, the inside had liquefied and ran all over the plate. Any suggestions as to why or what I could do to stop that from happening?ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 04/30/2012 - 5:01 pm

      Hi Bruce,
      I have always used the Bavarian Cream from the Prepared Pantry before frying the Xango. It is gelatin based as a stabilizer, so it doesn’t get runny.
      Make sure that the Bavarian Cream you made is stabilized with gelatin.
      When I make Cream Puffs I make homemade Bavarian Cream, but they are filled after baking, so I’ve never had a problem.
      I will look into different recipes and if I find one that I believe will work with the fried Xango recipe, I will email you.
      Here is the link to the Prepared Pantry, so that you can see exactly what I use:

  • Frank - 08/12/2012 - 2:16 am

    Ok I keep seeing these kind of recipies for xangos and everybody posting keeps thinking that you are supposed to use a flour tortilla. That couldn’t be more incorrect. Sure it looks like a rolled up tortilla stuffed with cheesecake or whatever other filling but it’s not. It’s actually called a benuelos. It’s a Mexican style pastry. Sometimes places sell them as just a round flat tortilla like disc covered in cinnamon and sugar. The correct way to make a xango is to make benuelos, stuff your filling inside. Roll it up like a burrito. Freeze it. Then quickly fry. Freezing it first will keep the filling from liquidfing. Then roll in cinnamon and sugar. Just don’t use tortillas! It’s not the same and it taste horrible compared to the real thingReplyCancel

    I love these just the fast and easy way but I am going to try out these fancy ones.

Would that work? Love you your site so much! Thanks for all you do!ReplyCancel

  • Jonna - 08/24/2010 - 6:11 pm

    Hi Juline,

    Thanks for the sweetness you sent my way!
    As for melting White or Milk chocolate Chips, it will work…but you will most likely need to thin it down a bit.

    DON’T USE WATER!

    Here is the method that I use:

    Double Boiler Method

    Place chips in top pan of double boiler over hot, but not boiling, water. You may also use a glass or metal mixing bowl on top of a saucepan half-full of water.
    Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable shortening for every 2 cups of chips.
    Stir chips and shortening until completely melted and smooth. The melted chocolate will retain its chip shape until stirred.
    Microwave Method

    Place chips in a microwave-safe container.
    Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable shortening for every 2 cups of chips.
    Heat on medium power (50 percent) for 30 seconds.
    Stir chips and shortening until completely melted and smooth. The melted chocolate will retain its chip shape until stirred.
    Continue heating on medium powder (50 percent) for additional 30-second intervals.
    Repeat process until completely melted and smooth

    Good Luck with the new baby coming. There is nothing sweeter and more humbling than a new baby in the home.

    What heat setting do you use to cook it for 6 hours?ReplyCancel

      Hi Tress,

      My slow cooker get quite hot for a slow cooker, so I can use low heat setting. I would start it on low, and raise the temp if
      you notice that it isn’t quite tender & done.

    Just wanted to share that this recipe ROCKED! My husband and step kids loved it, got seconds and even ate the leftovers the next day. (That’s almost unheard of at my house…got some picky ones!) I will be trying more from your site. Plus how cool that we share a name just spelled differently. Its an easy name that people love to complicate. The best version I’ve ever gotten was “Yo-hanna”….seriously.
    Well thanks again.
    Blessings,

      Hi Johnna,

      It’s always exciting when I hear my name! I think it’s pretty unusual, but lately . . . I’m hearing it more & more.
      My Dad’s name is Jon, and I was named after him. How about you?
      I’ve also been called pretty funny names as well, but I answer to anything!
      Thanks so much for making me laugh, and making my day!

Beans . . . sprouting everywhere. I’ve blanched and frozen most of them for the future. Last night, I simply picked them and made my favorite Green Beans! Oh . . . They are divine. Below are two recipes that are quite similar.  I altered it just a bit this time, using Brown Sugar instead of […]

    This is perfect for Gary! Our neighbors brought us some fresh-picked green beans last night from their garden for him (I’m not a big fan of green beans), so I will definitely have to make this for him!ReplyCancel

Have you ever wanted something . . . a Something that you really Didn’t need? You’ve picked it up several times, but always put it back. Well I say, “The heck with it . . . frivilous or not, I’m buying it!” . . . and I did. It made these crispy fluted shells. I’m happy […]

    Perfect!!! I have the 4 mini ones in my cupboard and have used them to make “dessert” taco shells. You know…..dip the edges in melted chocolate and then sprinkle with icing sugar. But now I must get the larger ones for the taco salads! YAY! Thanks for letting me know where to get the larger ones. You can’t find these kinds of pans anywhere in Western Canada. Sheesh! ; SReplyCancel
