The use of vegetables in desserts is unusual to Americans,
but many cultures make use of the sugars in vegetables to
create dessert dishes. These floating islands are adrift in a
sea of red, or kidney, bean puree scented with cinnamon,
allspice, and vanilla. It is a sauce that is usually made for
Easter on the island; the floating islands are a classic
French preparation. Begin the day before: the dried beans
must soak for 24 hours.
