A Picnic Shortcake?
One of the greatest things about
summer is the plentiful supply of
fresh fruit available. From the
berries in June to late August,
when the local peaches are ready
... each fruit in turn is my
favorite! Desserts made with fresh
fruit are the best!
Here’s a fresh fruit shortcake for
dessert that uses summer’s
abundance of fruit. It’s delicious
with any fresh berries, or with
sliced peaches, bananas, or what
ever you have available.
Unlike other shortcakes
however, this one is made ahead of
time in a large pan and it keeps
well! This makes it great for
company or to take to a picnic in a
cooler. If necessary, it will feed an
extra person or two, depending on
how you cut the pieces.
Picnic Shortcake can be made
completely from scratch if you
want. Or if you’re short of time,
use a purchased cake or mix.
Thawed and drained frozen fruit
may be used instead of fresh, if
necessary.
This recipe uses a can of
sweetened condensed milk as one
of the ingredients. Did you know
you can make sweetened con
densed milk at home yourself? It’s

4. Microwave on high for 2 to 3

TIP: Stale milk powder (a

time) may give the sweetened
condensed milk a funny taste. For
best results, use a freshly opened
package, and store powder in
freezer!

Are You Letting
Stray Voltage
Milk Your Profits?
You could be and you might not even know it. University studies show it
may make your herd difficult to handle, increase mastitis, and
ultimately lead to an overall decrease in your production and profits.
Using computer technology, our survey documents the level of stray
voltage and shows you when and where it occurs on your farm.
From the survey report you can determine if stray voltage is milking
your profits. If it is, Blackburn has the only guaranteed method of re
ducing it from both on and off-farm sources.
When we make it so easy to detect and reduce stray voltage it makes
sense to find out if your milk output and herd health is less than it could
be.
To leam more about stray voltage and its effects call for our free
brochure or arrange for a detection survey. We’ll put your farm to the
test. And put your mind at ease.

the quality of the fresh fruit starts
to deteriorate if stored longer than
24 hours.
Toss fresh peaches with
lemon juice to prevent darkening.
Angel food, sponge or chiffon
cake could be used instead of a
pound cake. However, these cakes
cannot be baked in a microwave;
they need hot dry air to bake
properly.
