Bake with Your Eyes, Nose, and Intuition

Don’t be a slave to a timer. The times I give in these recipes work at my house in my oven. But maybe your oven is different, or your fruit has more or less liquid. When you start to smell your baked good, it is getting close. If you see it has no color, don’t hesitate to crank up the oven temperature and keep an eye on it. Sometimes to make something perfect, you have to adjust. Using all your senses is truly the only way to bake well.
