JELLY WHIP
blancmage/ jelly mousse whatever u wanna call it. Make up a sugar free jelly (60p for twinpack ) to half pint with boiling water, when cool Mix a tub of quark (70p) and pop into fridge. Lovely I've tried the strawberry , orange and raspberry. If you don't have quark use a couple of matching mullers. The mandarin with the orange jelly is nice. And both options are syn free.
hasn't sugar free jelly got 1.5 syns ?

1hea cheddar cheese

cut potatoes into large wedges and place in microwave with a cup of water and cook for 6 mins or until just soft

cut potato away from skin leaving a bit of a base.

place skins on a baking sheet, sprinkle with cayenne and bake for 15 mins at gas 6

meanwhile mash the potato in a bowl with ham, salt pepper, cottage cheese and cheddar cheese.

once skins are browned, take out of the oven and load mixture on top. bake for 10 mins more or until browning.

add spring onions, peppers etc to suit your taste, i kept mine simple with cheese and ham cos kids wont eat onions.
