sunday in the kitchen.
Sundays, as I’m sure I’ve said before, were made for getting up late & cooking something that takes ages & tastes yummy. Today’s Sunday lunch is roast pork with crackling, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, carrots & sprouts, & home made apple sauce. The sprouts, parsnips & carrots are home grown & the apples are unashamedly ‘borrowed’ from the neighbour’s tree. (He doesn’t mind, really.)
Apple Sauce:
- 3 cooking apples, cored, peeled & sliced.
- 50g caster sugar
- 60g butter
- pinch of salt
- tsp of cinnamon
i. Add all the ingredients together in a small saucepan & leave on a low heat to cook, stirring occasionally until the apple is nearly at a puree consistency. This takes about 20 minutes.
I’ve been hopelessly addicted to The Great British Bake Off on BBC2.. Mary Berry & Paul Hollywood are also doing two 1 hour ‘masterclass’ shows, you can catch the first one on iplayer here, & the second is on next week, Thursday 8pm BBC2.
They made a beautiful looking Tarte au Citron, last week & I have been having daydreams about it ever since then.. It was going to be tonight’s pudding, but the 9” flan tin I am sure we had has vanished into thin air, so I am going to take a trip to town tomorrow & see if I can unearth one from somewhere.
In other news I had my first London based job-interview on Friday, it’s for a Front of House job in one of the west-end theatres, so I am in that horrible limbo-state between going for interview & hearing whether you’ve been successful or not. So, if all goes to plan I may well be London sooner rather than later.. Hoorah!
Thank you for writing this , I could not agree with you more.
