When I was growing up everyone had a lemon tree in their backyard. No one would have thought of having a lime tree, but like many people we now have one as well as the lemon in ours. Hopefully we’ll have enough of a crop this year to be able to make this luscious dessert.
This is a very simple, easy dessert, which kids love. You can change the jelly flavour or change the tinned fruit. You can make it to your family’s taste or to what you have in the cupboard…..easy.
The Women’s Weekly published this recipe in one of their liftout features back in 1999. I thought it might be of interest as it gives step by step instructions on how to assemble the Kiev. It also came with a couple of useful tips about deep frying it – use a wide-topped deep frying pan, which is half full of well heated oil. If the oil is not hot enough the Kiev will absorb too much oil. Obviously an electric deep fryer takes away that worry.
Every time I eat passionfruit it reminds me of when I was young. Growing up our back fence was covered in a passionfruit vine. In spring the vine was covered in beautiful flowers and in summer luscious fruit. My brothers and I used to pick them, eat them and then to hide our sin, throw the skins as far as we could onto the garage roof – not something our father was very happy about. Luckily there was still heaps for Mum to pick and to use to top sponges with, put in fruit salad and to make this passionfruit butter. Note: 8oz = 250g, 4oz = 125g
There’s a little bit of work with these, you need to the make the filling, then wrap them in the spring roll wrapper and then fry them until their lovely and crisp. Worth it though when you take the first bite……
Melbournians are this week celebrating the easing of our 5km travel restriction and after four months are meeting family and friends in parks within their new 25km range. Everywhere you look there are small groups enjoying each other’s company and a picnic lunch. I thought these Popovers could be good to make and take along. It’s been very hard, but well done everyone for getting us through this……
I’m not exactly sure when this recipe was published in the Herald Sun. You can see by the condition of the print that it is quite old and of course the ingredients being in Imperial measurements is the other giveaway. Cinnamon Scrolls are usually made with a yeast dough and that seems like a lot of trouble and a long wait to me. This recipe is a lot easier and quicker and that has to be a pretty big plus.
These are a nice combination of prawns, peanuts and spices. They are quick and easy to make and delicious when dipped in the sauce.
This another recipe from the Kraft Vegemite booklet. The vegemite is used in the sauce and not in the filling, which means you can add as much or as little as you like. I have doubts myself about using tinned vegetable soup for the sauce and don’t see why you couldn’t use mushroom instead.
You can tell this is an old fashioned slice because of the copha in the filling. Copha was used a lot back in the 70s and 80s, but seems to have gone out of favour these days. Not everyone likes the taste, but in this slice, at least, the peppermint, chocolate and coconut mask it and you end up with a great slice.
