I haven’t seen this Italian dessert on a menu for a long time or for that matter made it myself for years. It was one of our go-to dinner party recipes back in the 80s. Maybe it’s time it made a comeback.

FROZEN MANGO TERRINE
Although this recipe uses tinned mangoes, I can’t see why you couldn’t use nice fresh ones instead – in fact I think it might make it even better.
BAKED PUMPED LEG OF LAMB WITH MARMALADE GLAZE
I’ve already posted a recipe for Pumped Leg of Lamb, but instead of boiling the meat this recipe bakes it in dough and then coats it with a marmalade glaze. That makes it a bit more work, but the result could be quite good. Although the original recipe suggests either mutton or lamb, pork would also work very well.
STUFFED BAKED PEACHES
One of the best things about summer is that stone fruit is in season and, as this recipe says, that makes it the right time to make this delicious Italian dessert.
PICKLED ZUCCHINI
This recipe is for those who have a thriving vegetable patch and at crop of zucchinis about to ripen – every summer back in the 70s that was certainly the case. Although I’m not sure it is now. Back then there were plenty of slice and cake recipes to use them up and pickling them to serve with salads was another idea. If you haven’t got the homegrown variety this recipe only uses a kilogram so it wouldn’t be too expensive to buy them.
CARAMEL PECAN SWIRL ICE-CREAM
I don’t know if you want to serve this as a dessert or just eat it yourself. It can be made up to a week ahead and the caramel sauce frozen until you want it. Ymmmmmmmm.
HOT ‘n’ SPICY POTATO SALAD
Although the heading on this recipe suggests serving it with grilled fish, roasted chicken, marinated chops or a mild beef curry, I think it would be a great accompaniment to Christmas leftovers. A touch of spice to go with turkey, pork or ham.
CHEESE BALL
Here’s one for entertaining this summer, actually it pretty good all year round. I’ve been making it since the 80s and it still tastes great and feeds a crowd.
CHRISTMAS TERRINE
Already wondering what you’re going to do with the leftover Christmas pudding or Christmas cake? This could be worth trying. Might even be alternative on the day itself.
CWA CHRISTMAS PLUM PUDDING – HARD SAUCE – FLUFFY CREAM SAUCE
Here’s another Plum Pudding recipe for you. It’s an old CWA one published by the Herald Sun in the 70s. Back then Mum didn’t serve custard with the Christmas Pudding she would make a sweet white sauce and would whip some cream. Every family differs though, my son-in-law’s family in WA always have Brandy Sauce or Hard Sauce as it’s called below. I’ve never tried the Fluffy Cream Sauce, but I think it would be pretty good too.
