We've had a good spell of food, starting with a happy accidental caramelised apple sauce. To replicate that particular mistake, simply over-brown the apples in sugar and butter in the pan, then add a little water and cook until soft. We had its delightful sweet flavour with honey roast pork and veg (and tasty oxo boiled cabbage).  And used left over pork pieces and a re-run apple sauce to make a tasty salad to serve with left over sweet potato pie.




I found some highly desirable recipes online and as soon as we'd picked up a serious chunk of fresh ginger go busy boiling up some crystallised ginger and a bottle of home made chocolate syrup. Both of which proved fairly straight forward to make, but the end results weren't exactly what we were expecting (very tasty though).

 Having waited a while to get our hands on some fresh mint, we squealed with delight when we saw it in ASDA (and promptly bought 3 plants worth).  Why were we so keen? We were itching to recreate the mint tea we had drunk in Marrakesh. So we went to town and also knocked up some Beghrir (Moroccan semolina pancakes), served them with the home made chocolate syrup and saved some for Jack.
