Steps:

• Filling: Preheat oven to 375°F. Stir together peaches, apricots, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cardamom, allspice, and salt. Divide mixture between six 1 1/2-cup ramekins or gratin dishes (about 1 1/3 cups each).
• Biscuits: In a bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter to form clumps no larger than small peas. Stir in buttermilk and cream until a soft, sticky dough forms.
• Spoon about 1/3 cup dough on top of each ramekin (fruit mixture should not be completely covered). Brush tops with cream; sprinkle with sanding sugar. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and bubbling, 55 to 70 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes; serve with ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Cut each sheet of puff pastry into nine 3-inch squares. Dab a small amount of apricot preserves into the center of each square. Fan 3 slices of peach over the preserves, leaving a slim border of pastry exposed. Spoon a small amount of apricot preserves over the peach slices.
• Bake in the preheated oven, 1 baking sheet at a time, until puff pastry turns golden, about 10 minutes.
• Thin remaining apricot preserves with 2 teaspoons hot water in a small bowl to make a glaze.
• Spoon some of the glaze over each baked tartlet. Return to the oven and bake until tartlets are golden brown, about 2 minute more. Repeat with second baking sheet. Cool tartlets on a wire rack before serving, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Soak apricots in warm water for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, cream the sugar, butter and egg. Stir in orange juice. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir into creamed mixture just until combined. Drain apricots well; add to batter with nuts. Pour into a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 55 minutes or until bread tests done. Cool 10 minutes in pan before removing to a wire rack.

Steps:

• 1. In a medium sauce pan, bring the pineapple and juice to a boil - stir in jello until dissolved and simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• 2. In large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until well blended. Add the pineapple mixture and baby food, then mix until well blended.
• 3. Fold in cool whip & nuts.
• 4. Spread into a 9 x 13 baking dish and refrigerate until set.
• 5. Serve salad as is or with whipped cream. I sometimes sprinkle nuts on top, before refrigerating. Enjoy! I find this salad refreshing.
