Sounds delicious; sounds SO easy: found this recipe in today’s ‘Herald Sun Sunday magazine’ and just had to post it here for safe-keeping! LOVE sage – and I’ll most probably add rosemary to the sage as I have a nifty Rosemary and Sage grinder and I’ve discovered that these two work just SO well together. I’m planning on making these for over the Christmas break. And I’ll certainly be adding minced garlic. UPDATE: since two reviewers have found that their sausage rolls were slightly burnt on the bottoms, if you know your oven is inclined to be perhaps hotter than some other ovens, perhaps cook them at a slightly lower temperature even if they take a bit longer to cook.
I have been making this particular fruit cake recipe for about 28 years now. It’s a traditional cake for weddings, birthdays and Christmas in Australia. Although I submitted the original recipe, I personally would soak the fruit for a day or two in port or brandy before I baked the cake, as I like a really moist and boozy fruit cake. I double or triple the recipe depending on the size tins I will be using, and often make about 12 of these in varying sizes as gifts for Christmas.
Yummy pancakes which can be served for breakfast, brunch, as a snack or as a side-dish. Although the recipe specifies sebago potatoes, you can also use russet burbank or spunta potatoes. All of these are potatoes that are varieties which are good for baking. This recipe has been adapted from a recipe in the Australian Women’s Weekly’s ‘Potatoes: over 100 exciting ways to cook the humble spud’, recently reprinted by popular demand. It is essential to squeeze as much moisture as possible from the potatoes in step one before adding the potatoes to the other ingredients. Please feel free to vary the herbs according to your taste preferences.
A Karen Martini recipe from her cookbook “cooking at home’. She suggests that 1 bunch carrots can be substituted by 1 turnip and 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into quarters. A nice vege side for any roast. You could use larger carrots and cut them into halves or quarters instead of baby carrots if wished….though the baby carrots give a lovely presentation
This is a really old family favourite that my mum often made. Now I make it! It’s OK with tinned pie apples (but home cooked are best), it’s good over stewed apricots, peaches, nectarines, quinces, and it’s nice to mix stewed rhubarb in with the apple when it’s available.
