With her signature Southern charm and down-to-earth wisdom and wit, Christy Jordan offers more than 195 recipes for delectable, homespun sweets-not only desserts (though there are plenty of those), but also muffins and quick breads; frozen treats; decadent sauces, including rich and gooey ice cream toppings; sweet snacks like Sugar-and-Spice Pecans and Caramel Corn; fruit salads; simple candies and three kinds of fudge; even drinks-think virgin punches, egg creams, smoothies, shakes, and of course, sweet tea. All served up with sweet memories and ruminations on sweetness (wherein sweetness is often synonymous with joy) that inspire us to recognize it, savor it, cultivate it, and celebrate it.
