Sybil's Old Fashioned Lemon Layer Cake
This is one of my grandmother's recipes, a Southern classic. It is similar to a doberge--six thin layers with a tart lemon filling. I usually need 3 large fresh lemons for this recipe to produce the zest and juice.
Honey Mustard Sauce
This is a great dipping sauce for chicken, meatballs, whatever. It's even good on baked potatoes.
Blueberry Pierogi
You've probably heard of savory pierogi—those delicious Polish dumplings—but what about sweet? These blueberry-filled pierogi (babcine pierogi z jagodami) are a unique and fruity after-dinner dessert. Serve pierogi the traditional Polish way: drizzle with melted butter and top with soured cream, then sprinkle with additional sugar and blueberries.
