Cornflake Fudge Cakes

12/9/2015

A slightly more sophisticated version of the treats you might of made as a kid (but these are still childsplay!) So easy, so tasty - so why not?

For a batch you'll need:

225g Dark Chocolate
1 tin/397g Condensed Milk
100g Butter
100g Dried Cranberries
200g Cornflakes

I decorated mine with some melted white chocolate, which is entirely optional!

Full of seeds, nuts and crunch! This loaf is filling but only with good stuff (okay, I added in some dried cranberries too which do have some sugar in them - but if you left those out it would literally be CaveMan/Paleo diet proof!)

100g Poppy Seeds
100g Sesame Seeds
100g Linseeds
100g Sunflower Seeds
100g Pumpkin Seeds
100g Almonds
100g Walnuts
100g Dried Cranberries (Optional)

Pancakes (Cranberry & Orange | Chocolate & Orange)

12/2/2015

Whether you know them as drop-scones, griddle cakes or pancakes - these are less like the French crepe style and more like the American pancake... these though are laced with orange in the batter, then topped off with Cranberries or Chocolate - or both! To make around 15 you'll need:

2 Oranges (Zest & Juice)
A little Milk (vague because it'll depend on the juiciness of your oranges!)
1 Egg
175g Self-Raising Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
40 g Caster Sugar
Chocolate Drops (optional)
Dried Cranberries (optional)

25g Glucose Syrup
175g Honey

Cranberry Mince Parcels

20/12/2014

Mince Pies - may not be familiar to everyone - but if you've not tried them the mincemeat (in this case, completely vegetarian!) is a wonderful chutney-like filling of spiced, sweetened fruit - in this case Cranberries. So easy to make, and here served in a modern parcel rather than in traditional shortcrust case. For around 40 parcels you'll need (this will make the mincemeat... which stores for 2 weeks).

300g Fresh Cranberries
30g Dried Cranberries
75g Currants
75g Raisins
75g Soft Light Brown Sugar
Juice & Zest of one Clementine
2 Tbs Honey
1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
3 Drops Almond Extract
60ml Port (Ruby ideally - but Tawny is fine too)
25ml Brandy

Camembert & Cranberry Parcels

11/12/2014

Hot cheese and jam? Yeah, doesn't sound very posh - but this is a really easy way to impress. Strong camembert melts and intermingles with cranberry in a crunchy topped, soft bottomed (?!) parcel. YUM. For eight parcels you'll need:

540g Filo Pastry (12x oblong sheets - you'll cut them into 24 squares)
250g Camembert Cheese (1x 10cm diameter)
250g Cranberry Sauce (1 Jar)
30g Butter (Melted)
Splash of juice (Cranberry or Apple) or water

Mulled Wine | Winter Cider | Spiced Cranberry Juice & Spiced Apple Juice

5-6 Cloves (or Allspice berries)
1 tsp Nutmeg
1 inch of fresh Ginger (Sliced)

500 ml Orange Juice
250 ml Water
Shot of Brandy
