I must have been craving Garlic — because every thing I made tonight contained garlic, LOL! And now I hope no one knocks on the door cause I will bowl them over with my breath, LOL! As the main course I made a Crockpot pork with capers and an apricot balsamic vinegar sauce. The sauce is sweet and pairs well with the pork! And of course I love capers so it is a win win kind of dinner for my family! Pork_Crockpot

Magic Bars with Fresh Fruit

MagicBar

I made magic bars with my small cherry size Chinese Plums the kids and I picked off our tree. The bars are more moist than your typical magic bar probably since I used fresh fruit, so I would say you have to eat this one with a fork!

Magic Bar with fresh fruit

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups Gluten Free Ginger Cookies, crushed
2 cans Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 cups dark chocolate morsels
1 cups flaked coconut
1 cup raisins
1 cup cranberries
2 cups fresh cherries or chinese plums, pitted
1 cup chopped almonds

Heat oven to 350 degrees F

Coat 13×9-inch baking pan with no-stick cooking spray.

Combine ginger cookie crumbs and butter. Press into bottom of prepared pan. Layer evenly with chocolate chips, raisins, cranberries, coconut and nuts, then pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over mixture.

Bake 45-50 minutes or until browned. Cool. Cut into bars. Store covered at room temperature.
