In my ongoing quest to find tasty, kid-friendly food appropriate for the whole family, this week I chose a delicious dessert, perfect for barbecues. I found the recipe in "Fresh," by the editors of "Better Homes and Gardens" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt; $29.99).
2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 of the sliced plums, 6 tablespoons sugar and the lemon juice. Cook over medium heat about 8 minutes or until tender. Stir in remaining plums; let cool.
3. To serve, remove shortcake from baking pan; split horizontally in half. Place bottom half of shortcake on a platter. Top with half of the Mascarpone Whipped Cream and half of the plum mixture. Add the top half of the shortcake, the remaining Mascarpone Whipped Cream and the remaining plum mixture.
