Mmmm, yummy, it's here again - Sugar High Fridays, the International Sweet Tooth Extravaganza! Hosted - again (Oh we're a bad bunch, not taking any of the summing-up responsibility - I will do soon, I promise!) - by it's inventor/spin doctor Jennifer of The Domestic Goddess, with a theme of apples galore!
Everyone's been doing apple this and apple that and I even recently bought myself an entire BOOK of apples - not just recipes, but also about growing and caring for apple trees - that will be the day, but I figured I'd better start preparing! This is my book:
There's a really yummy-looking recipe for an apple-spice mix in it that I'll have to try soon...
Okay so I KNOW this is a really, really bad picture of a picture in a book - of a picture (not anywhere near a scanner, sorry) - but you HAD to see this - the "painting" is made out of APPLES, put on a nail and arranged to look like flowers! That is just SO cool, I had to share!
But OH! I must admit that somehow time caught up with me (as you might now it does a lot at the moment!) and I found myself with a very limited amount of time - how embarrasing! That's why I ended up doing something that I actually think turned out very well, and that I'm sure I'll do for an easy pudding for the girls one night during winter...
I was inspired by one of the recipes in my book - Baked Apples. Now this one calls for a lot of hoo-ha, but i just cut open my apples (coxes they were), cored them and stuffed them with a mixture of almonds, marzipan, small raisins (korender in Danish) some light brown muscovado sugar and a bit of lemon zest, dapped some butter on top - et voilá!
Half an hour later, out of the oven:
And then...
I have to say, they would have been AWESOME with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or some cold, cold custard - but cold creme fraiche did very well too!
So on to all your adventures out there...
- Individual Apple Crisp Recipe
Last week I got a shipment of SweeTango apples to try. New varieties of apples appear up now and again and the SweeTango is a relatively new one that's harvested the end of August and beginning of September. It's a very pretty apple with a bright...
- All About Apples:cookbook
How would you like a free cookbook? Ok, it's an electronic book, but it's really beautifully written and has gorgeous photographs. Unlike most cookbooks, this one is based on a single tasting menu--the only one I've ever seen that focuses...

- Kind Of Apple-y
I grew up in a small suburban town, in a red brick house build by my Grandad. The house was surrounded on all sides by a big, lush garden. It was a great garden, with hiding places under the bushes, a swing and a small corner with lots and lots of rhubarb...
