"Peach baskets owe their glamour to gloriously juicy, tree-ripened Del Monte Peaches. All of the wonderful things peaches can do to brighten any dish, Del Monte Peaches can do best!"
Glamour, glorious, wonderful, best!
I love these old ads with their intense propaganda...just for peaches!
I found this image out in internet land and the resolution was so weak I could not make out the recipe, but that's not really a concern to me. I rarely follow recipes too closely anyhow. I prefer to make it up as what I see in the picture. For this dessert I saw white cake squares with white icing, toasted coconut, half of a glamorous peach, and jelly mint leaves. I didn't do the candy leaves because I don't know any old ladies that will let me have some out of their crystal candy dishes, so I used real leaves. Extra fiber if you choose to eat the garnish!
I figured I had not strayed too far from the original recipe and these turned out tasting quite "glorious"!
I then happened to find a better scan of this ad's recipe and the mystery of what was really involved was revealed!
Bread slathered in condensed milk, dipped in coconut and baked!?
I have turned bread into "cookies" , "waffles", and Bread Betty "Dessert" before so
I probably would have given the original recipe a go!
I guess this is one time I took the non-kooky route.
That will happen when you are trying to keep up a glamorous appearance for the best and most wonderful peaches there are.
(BTW....I used generic peaches, ha!)
