Cake:
If you don't want to make this cake from scratch, a box of yellow cake, mixed to directions, will do fine!
Put butter and brown sugar in a frying pan and melt until it boils or bubbles. I use a cast iron pan because it's heavy and cooks every evenly. I just move it from stove top straight to the oven.
Place pineapples in butter and sugar mixture. If you're using cherries, pop them in too. Put some smaller pieces of pineapple lined up the sides of the frying pan (standing up on edge). If you're not using a pan that can go into the oven, pour all this into a cake pan and arrange your pineapple accordingly.
Prepare the cake mix batter by combining the ingredients and beating for one minute. Pour batter over pineapples and bake at 350 degrees F for about 25 minutes. Test center with toothpick.
When cake is done, loosen edges with a butter knife. Remove from heat and allow to rest five minutes, then turn it upside down on a serving dish.

Place all ingredients in a blender, blend until smooth and serve.
Source: This recipe is in the May issue of the Ladies Home Journal titled as Peach Creamsicle. I renamed it because it has more of an orange flavor than peach flavor.

Preheat grill to medium high.
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, roll into 8 equal sized balls and flatten into 1/2 inches thick patties.
Grill, turning once after 4 minutes, and cook until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees F, about 3 to 5 additional minutes.

Toppings:
Put each ingredient in a bowl (yogurt, fresh berries, granola, and berry compote). Give out parfait glasses and have kid's layer the ingredients in any order they want. Then let them add the toppings.
Place berries and maple syrup in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes until it thickens a little. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Cool to room temperature.

Mix the rhubarb and water in a heavy dutch oven or other large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the blueberries, lemon, and pectin and mix well.
Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. When it has reached a hard boil (cannot be stirred down), add the sugar all at once. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Return to a hard boil, and boil for 1 minute.
Remove from heat. Ladle into sterilized 1/2 pint jars leaving 1/4 inch head space. Stir to remove bubbles. Wipe rim thoroughly. Put sterilized lid and ring on, turning until just barely tightened.
Place in canning kettle, and put lid on. When the water returns to a boil, process for 10 minutes.
Remove from kettle and set on clean kitchen towel. Don't disturb for 24 hours. Check for seal.

Mix everything but the sugar in a large, heavy pot. Bring to a boil, stirring often. When it reaches a hard boil (still bubbles when you stir it, can't be stirred down).
Add the sugar all at once and stir until dissolved. Bring to a hard boil over high heat, boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Ladle into sterilized 1/2 pint jars leaving 1/4 inch head space. Stir to remove bubbles, then wipe the rim clean.
Put sterilized lids and rings on and tighten until you just meet resistance. Return jars to canning kettle. When the water starts to boil, process for 15 minutes.

Source: This is a variation of my Monkey Bread recipe except that I stuffed the biscuits with apple pie filling. This recipe can also be made using other canned pie fillings such as peach.
