nd just occasionally, very occasionally have a desire for mini-chips! So here is my start on potato recipes.

This is from a dear friend Di Redfern.

1650 gms apples

25gms garlic chopped finely

1 pint vinegar

675 gms sugar

100gms.chopped crystallised ginger

225gms sultanas

Half teaspoon ground mixed spice

Half teaspoon cayenne pepper

Half teaspoon salt.

I am starting with this recipe. But thinking I need to adapt to what I have! So …

I would say that I am perhaps the world’s worst person for presenting food. Shambles and mess come to mind as adjectives! And this one was no exception – BUT – for a bit of ‘look what I have done!’ and a great taste this is worth a little effort (if you have someone who will appreciate it!). And vegan too! And there might be pumpkins going cheap next week?

I am going to try this one. Looks good. Beer and apple chutney.

In the oven now – I managed to get some cheap jam strawberries at Draycott. I think I must have bought about 20kg this summer!

INGREDIENTS

Filling:

• 350g fresh or frozen strawberries
• 6 apples, peeled, cored and cut into medium & even-sized chunks Which I think is about the same??
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 80ml golden caster sugar or regular caster sugar
• Juice of one lemon

Crumble topping:

• 120g butter
• 120g flour
• 120g golden caster sugar
• 50 – 80g sliced almonds (raw)

I am thinking that I might have to make smaller ones to post this year? Although one I posted last year never arrived!? So here is the recipe which I will base what I am going to make on! Its a 6″ cake tin. Recipe
