Oh, what would the damned in hell give for a sermon, could they but listen once more! They would consent, if it were possible, to bear ten thousand years of hell's torments, if they might but once more have the Word presented to them! If I had a congregation such as that would be, of men who have tasted the wrath of God, of men who know what an awful thing it is to fall into the hands of an angry God, how would they lean forward to catch every word.

C.H. Spurgeon

INSTRUCTIONS

I'm not making this one up either -- it's from the San Antonio cookbook,
Flavors.
In a large saucepan, combine, sugar, water, and ginger and bring to a boil.
Lower heat and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until sugar is
completely dissolved. Add plums to syrup and cook 6-10 minutes, or until
plums are tender but firm. Remove with a slotted spoon to a heat-resistant
serving dish. Boil down sugar syrup until slightly reduced, pour over
plums, and cool to room temperature. When ready to serve, put vodka,
vanilla, and almond extract in a saucepan, bring almost to a simmer, and
ignite. Pour over plums and run for your life, oops, I mean, "and serve".
Good with a dollop of whipped cream. Serves 6-8. Posted to FOODWINE Digest
