The Winner Is....

Jennifer, from "Mommyoffive", has won The Red Barn pie! Our pies are made from scratch in our kitchen using Grandma's recipe. Each pie has over a pound of fruit. You really can't go wrong with any flavor you choose (though I may suggest the cherry - I have NEVER had a cherry pie that's better than The Red Barn). Congratulations on your pie, it will make a fail-proof dessert any day of the year!

Dessert Disaster

I had every intention of creating the most beautiful and tasty cake today to feature on tomorrow's Tasty Tuesday, but like we all know, things don't always go according to plan! My goal was to create a confection with our Raspberry jam, but every part of me wanted ooey gooey chocolate! To put it all together, I decided I would bake a chocolate torte cake, and layer raspberry jam and ice cream in between. I quickly realized as my cake resembled the leaning Tower of Pisa, that my intentions were failing! I scraped off the ice cream and replaced it with Cool Whip (still didn't help much). I frosted it as fast as I could and topped it with a little decorative swirl and some thawed Red Barn frozen raspberries. I couldn't get a picture fast enough! My cake was falling apart in every direction! Don't get me wrong, it was still delicious, just a little hard on the eyes!Ahh - raspberry down! The others were close behind it! Have you ever had a dessert disaster? Leave a comment with your worst dessert disaster for a chance to win a Red Barn pie - the ultimate fail proof dessert!

Winner will be selected randomly. Must be able to pick up pie, as we are unable to ship them.

This time of year it becomes harder to find quality fresh fruit, but Spring always gives me hope that new crops are right around the corner! A great meal option for Spring time is Apricot Glazed Pork Roast. This is so simple, yet fancy enough for a Sunday dinner crowd.

Ingredients:

• 1 (10.5 ounce) can Campbell's® Condensed Chicken Broth
• Red Barn apricot jam (18 ounce)
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
• 4 pounds boneless pork loin roast

Directions

1. Mix broth, jam, onion and mustard in 3 1/2-qt. slow cooker. Cut pork to fit. Add to cooker.
2. Cover and cook on LOW 8 to 9 hr.* or until done.

Footnotes

• Tip: *Or on HIGH 4 to 5 hr.
• Tip: For thicker sauce: Mix 2 tablespoons. cornstarch and 2 tablespoons. water until smooth. Remove pork from cooker. Stir cornstarch mixture into cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH 10 min. or until mixture boils and thickens.
