......in brown sugar and raspberry sauce in layers then doused with a little bourbon. Jeez, now that I've typed it out, it seems kind of over the top, doesn't it? It was in a recipe book that we got in D.C. 50 years ago and we keep going back to it. The book was one of those things that a group puts together as a fund raiser, collected everyone's old family recipes. The desert was called "Tipsy Parson" and it really is the bourbon, added generously, that sets it apart. Our guests have never complained.
