Here's a terrific light version of an American summer classic.

This recipe originally accompanied Cherry-Fudge Brownies with Chocolate Sauce .

This pretty tart is great with vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.

Among favorite desserts of the decade were waffles, served with ice cream and syrup, as well as this easy cake's ancestor. The treat reached its maximum popularity with the increasing availability of canned pineapple and the marketing efforts of the Dole Company. Today's widely available fresh fruit-spiked with ginger, macadamia nuts and orange zest-gives a great result.

For a shiny finish, brush the warm tart with melted apricot preserves.

Old-time taste in a hurry. Serve in deep bowls with ice cream or whipping cream.

Rum and spices-classic Caribbean ingredients-also happen to be the classic ingredients in the traditional English steamed pudding. This lovely version of the Christmas dessert is from the Grand View Beach Hotel, Villa Point, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Begin preparing it at least one day before serving.

(COMPOTE DE CERISES NOIRES) When in season, fresh cherries can be used in place of the frozen ones.
