POP on Over...

When one blogs for 9 years, as I have,

one has favorite posts in their archives.

Going thru the past, I always find a post worth sharing again...

and the following is one of my very favorites.

I can remember how much fun I had, 

getting it all ready for my friends..

 Some of you might know of the battle between

A BEAUTIFUL, TALL POPOVER and MYSELF.

Now, the above popovers were as tasty as anything I've ever made....

♥

...'specially FILLED with all that good homemade

APRICOT PRESERVES.


Not having the correct pan to make them in, I used a
regular muffin tin....

and they didn't rise very much...
or...
they rose..
and then fell in the middle...not sure which.






I buy the dried apricots in a package,
cut them with kitchen shears into little snippets,
cover with water,
add sugar,
a little vanilla,
and gently boil until the apricots become soft and falling apart...
then the syrup begins to thicken and
O HONEY
they are so so delicious.
* be sure to stir almost constantly as they thicken so they won't burn
or stick really bad to your pan. 

they were good....

MERCY, they were good and Mr. Sweet

really loved them.

BUT.......... 

I really really wanted to make some like 

 KATHLEEN'S
or.....
 



YVONNE

They are REAL cooks and I am more a SEMI-HOMEMADE type gal....
not a REAL cook at all...

but I sure would like to make just ONE batch of really pretty POPOVERS...

 AND THEN.....

the wondrous mailman arrived

at my doorstep with the most wonderful package...

SET OF 6 POPOVER PAN

And, not only the pan but a TRIED AND TRUE recipe for POPOVERS.
and...the sweet note says
"I hope this helps make your popovers a success. Please enjoy!
Happy Thanksgiving, Michle"

 She told me to NOT PEEK in the oven until the full 30 minutes for cooking was finished.

 So, being the GOOD GIRL that I am, I didn't peek.....

and when the time was up....

I opened the oven and....

nearly wet down both pants legs..

they were  ♫♪  BEAUTIFUL ♪♪♫

 Now, THAT'S what I'm talkin' about...!!

 What a beauty... I am sooo impressed with my silly self...

♫♪♪

(well, OK...the wondrous pan and the fabulous recipe DID contribute to these

bloomin' beauties...:>)

♪♪♫..."I can bake a pretty popover, Billy Boy, Billy Boy".....♫♪♪
