Pencils at the ready ???

Ooooo we had a smashing time at Thomasland yesterday and we're all still wiped out - 6 hours and every ride done, phew!!  I'll pop some pics on here once they are uploaded.

Anyhoo, as promised a couple of recipes, I'll warn you though they are very scrummy, so make two lots one lot to keep and one to give away!!

Nana Twigs Lemon Curd

4 large eggs

4 large lemons - use juice and zest

350g  caster sugar

225 butter cubes

Whisk eggs in a bowl.

Zest and juice the lemons, put whisked eggs, zest and juice of lemons, caster sugar and cubed butter into saucepan.  

Put on a medium heat.

Stir or whisk constantly until it starts to thicken - takes approx 7 - 8 minutes.

It thickens suddenly, lower heat and let it simmer for 1 minute, still stirring gently.

Put in sterilised jars and try not to scoff it all at once.

Store in fridge.

Onion Marmalade

1.25kg onions
3 tbsp salt
1kg sugar
500mls red wine vinegar
2tsp caraway seeds

Chop onions cover wih salt leave for an hour

Rinse & dry

Add sugar, vinegar & seeds into saucepan, boil for 5mins then add onions. 

 

Cook for a couple of hours on a low heat until the mix becomes thick, onion translucent & brown. 

Put in sterilized jars.

Enjoy
