French Grape Harvest Cake

This light moist cake is simple and impressive. No Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise? Try a late-harvest Riesling, Vidal or even white grape juice. The smaller the grape the better, with Champagne grapes being the best choice. Be sure they are dry before using.

Cherry Linzertorte Bars

In our easy version of this classic jam-filled dessert, we've replaced the tricky lattice crust with a simple crumble topping. It's every bit as delicious and still allows jam to peek through, but there's no need to roll out your dough and painstakingly weave the strips into a lattice. Just sprinkle and bake!

Maple Fudge

This classic recipe for dense candy- shop fudge will be an instant family favourite. It's essential to have an accurate candy thermometer, because if it's only a few degrees off, you may have difficulty getting the right texture.

PECAN PIE SQUARES

These squares make serving up the fall flavour of classic pecan pie super easy.

Gingerbread Roll Cake

Java Cutouts

Coffee lovers, here's your cookie! Roll and cut the dough into festive shapes, or form into logs to slice when it's time to bake a fresh batch.

Milk Chocolate Scones

These not-too-sweet scones are a delicious treat any time of day but make a decadent addition to brunch. Pop them into the oven after the bread pudding and potatoes come out. By the time the pudding has rested, the scones will be ready.

Baked Pears with Camembert, Honey Syrup & Oatmeal Crisp

Holiday Hermits

Hermits are lightly spiced soft fruit-and-nut cookies. You can replace the pistachios with chopped walnuts, almonds or pecans, and the cranberries with Thompson or golden raisins. To expose more of the pistachio's green, vigorously rub the shelled nuts in a towel before chopping.
