Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup golden raisins
3 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt

directions
Carefully peel the pears then remove the cores. Cut each pear into 8 wedges.
Place the pears, water, sugar, raisins, amaretto, nutmeg, and salt in a skillet over medium heat. Bring the liquid to a boil then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cover the skillet and let the pears cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
Combine the cornstarch and water and mix until smooth. Stir the mixture into the liquid in the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, for one minute or until the liquid has thickened.
Serve the pears and the syrup immediately. Delicious served over ice cream or pound cake.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

A yummy and super fast fruit dessert. You can use other liquors too ... Grand Marnier for one. I add a dollop of sweet whipped cream atop each serving and its really tasty.
