Syn free onion marmalade

002-20.jpg

I only made half the recipe and it made 2 1lb jars

1kg onions (ı used red onions)
200ml of balsamic vinegar
300ml of cider vinegar
couple of cloves garlic
salt and pepper
5 dessertspoons granulated sweetener

Slice the onions up reasonably thin, add the vinegars and sweetener and then simmered for approx one hour until the vinegar had evaporated and formed a thick sticky sauce. then transfer into steralized jars and sealed.
 
Toffee Apples

002-21.jpg


for 8 apples 2.5syns each
6 tbsp sugar
6 tbsp sweetner
198ml water
red food colouring
8 x Apples
8 x lolly sticks

Put sugar, sweetner and water in a pan and heat, bring to boil and boil for 6 mins ( ish) until thickens and when a little bit is dropped into cold water forms a ball. add the food colouring.

place sticks into apples and on a tray with greasproof paper on and drizzle the toffee over.

the toffee mix would make good toffee on its own broken into pieces
 
syn free lemon curd

IMGA0411.jpg


3 tbsp of canderel
grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
2 large eggs
(2oz very low fat fromage frais)

Whisk lemon juice and eggs together,add rind and sweeetner, place in bowl over saucepan of simmering water (make sure bowl is not actually touching the water), stir until thickened. take off the heat just as it starts to thicken otherwise it will become scrambled egg!

(I didn't use the fromage frais just had it as it was.)

Remove from heat and whisk in fromage frais until smooth.
Pour into a jar and keep cool.

I just used half the recipe and crushed up a meringue nest on the top and made a 'lemon meringue pie' with out the pie :)

Ooh these recipes are brilliant! Have copied and saved them :) Might make the broccoli and blue cheese soup with real stilton from HEXA - if you can? Can't see blue cheese in the book...

Hi, glad you like them, :)
You could make the soup with real stilton, but it isn't a HEA, i just looked up online and its not there either. The Laughing cow squares are really good though.
 
hello, lots of fab recipes.
i have a queston about the onion marmalade, does it tast very vinergary (if that makes sense) as anything that tastes very vinergary other than pickled onions makes me sick
thank you
 
Hi
I didnt find it vinergary, the vinegar evapourates off i think, so your left with the balsamic taste and the apple taste from the cider vinegar. both of those vinegars are quite mild. unlike a pickling vinegar or a malt vinegar.
You could just 1/4 the recipe and see if you like it, if not you havent wasted to much stuff.

Breaded fish ( and chips)

IMGA0414.jpg


Fillet of fish of your choice and size - depending on RED/EE or HEB for GREEN
1 slice of nimble
dried herbs ( or fresh if you have - parsley and dill work well with fish)
1 egg seasoned with salt and pepper

Beat the egg in a dish
Blitz the bread and then place on a baking tray and put in a oven and bake until golden and crispy. scrunch up when done and add the herbs.
Dip the fish into the egg and then into the breadcrumbs. place on baking tray and bake at 180c for 15 - 20 mins

The chips in this pic were potato, parsnip and butternut squash.
