While we're talking terminology...

I have an old recipe book that refers to something called "malaga". While I'm quite familiar with the place, I don't know what I could put in as an ingredient that might be "malaga". The recipe is for Malaga Cream from Price's Treasury of Great Recipes.

Anyone care to help me with, perhaps, a picture or description of a malaga?

AFAIK, it's a type of wine made from the Spanish malaga grape. Google is your friend - check it out if you don't get a more definitive answer.

Google gave me Andalucía, not wine. That sounds like it could be it. I'll go look at the recipe again because this is not the first time I've come across "malaga" (usually spelled with lower case M).

Andalucia is a region in Spain.

As I recall (it's been some time), malaga is a very sweet, full-bodied wine. If you can't find it, concord grape should substitute

One of the common flavors for italian ice cream is "malaga" - it has some kind of wine (i'm not a wine person, but it tastes like what they call vino liquoroso, which would be like marsala, port, etc so a "malaga" wine woudl probably make sense) and raisins. It's always called just "malaga" and it's an ice cream based on a pastry cream with wine and raisins.

Yes, I know. One of my good friends is from Málaga and I was quite sure the recipe wasn't calling for me to boil him. :lips:

Wine sounds like it might be it, especially considering the ice-cream thing. I didn't have time to look at my recipes that mention malaga, but I think that it might also refer to the grape, not just the wine made from the grape. It is making a bit more sense now.
