Ingredients:
l 1 packed cup light brown sugar

l ¾ cup chopped pecans
l 1 egg
l 1 stick melted butter
Directions:
þ Spray mini-muffin tin with PAM.
þ Mix brown sugar, flour and pecans.
þ Combine with egg & butter in mixing bowl
þ Spoon mixture into muffin tin.
þ Bake at 325° for 18 minutes or until
just turning brown around the edges.  Do
NOT over cook or they will be hard.
þ Let stand 10 minutes in muffin tin before
serving.  If you try to remove them in less
than 10 minutes they won't hold their shape.

and you'll ruin many trying to dig them out.

Heritage House Hot Fruit Compote

Ingredients:
l 2 cans peaches, drained & cut into bite size pieces
l 2 cans pears, drained & cut into bite size pieces
l 2 cans pineapple chunks
l 1 can apricots, drained & cut into bite size pieces
l 12 to 14 marachino cherries
l 3 Tbs flour
l 1 cup brown sugar
l 1 tsp cinnamon
l 4 Tbs butter
l Devonshire Cream (see recipe)
Directions:
þ Spray 4 qt. baking dish with PAM
þ Add drained & sliced fruit
þ Mix dry ingredients and sprinkle evenly 
over fruit
þ Dot with butter
þ Bake 1 hour @ 325°
þ Allow to cool some, then stir to blend in topping
and to segregate cherries
þ Spoon compote into serving dishes
þ Drizzle back & forth with Devonshire Cream and
top with one of the baked cherries
þ Makes about 12-14 servings
Tips:
Ø Layer prepped fruit in order beginning with
pears on bottom (closest to heat since they take
longer to break down into soft tissue consistent
with rest of fruit ingredients).
Ø Next make a pocket for the cherries (if these are
exposed among the top layers, they will tend to
toughen).
Ø Finally add the pineapple chunks, peaches and
apricots.
Ø You can optionally just use a tablespoon dollop
of Devonshire in lieu of the drizzle, but it is not
as striking a presentation.
