SOTB: It's a great drink.
But these delicate squares of sponge cake have all the flavor without the hangover. Fiori di Sicilia and peach jelly flavor the cake, topped with peach/pomegranate glaze. They are easy to make! Try them and think about summer.
I have quite a bit of peach jelly on hand, which inspired this recipe:

ReplyDeleteAny chance you could add a "Print" button to your recipes that would strip out the formatting and pictures, so we could easily print out and take into the kitchen?
