My LDS Stake Relief Society presidency just introduced a new program for us called Pursuit of Excellence. This program consists of a number of goals we can choose to pursue this year. One goal I chose was to try a new recipe once a month and another was to take a treat to someone periodically. I decided to combine these goals with my love for Family History. Yesterday I tried a new recipe--Irish Apple Cake. I divided it into four parts--delivering one part to 3 different people and keeping one part for us to eat. For those I delivered, I put the piece on what I call a "Family History Friendship Plate." The idea is for the person to pass on the plate to someone else with a treat from his/her heritage.

3 cups of flour
3/4 c white sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
