Basic homemade white bread
Warm, homemade bread with butter melting into it and a dollop of chunky apricot jam always bring back delightful memories. There is something comforting about freshly baked bread, which is difficult to describe.
Pink Lady® Apple cake
I love Pink Lady® Apples and although they are not back in season yet, I am keeping this recipe on hand for the moment they are on shelf in May. And seeing that South Africans love to bake, I just have to share this delicious cake so long.
The moist cake with its soft texture is really special and similar to a typical Ukranian apple cake. Ian Sklarsky shared this family recipe with the Pink Lady® team and they were so excited about it, that they shared it with us at a lovely launch event a few years ago. The natural sweetness of the apples and the ability to hold their structure, even when baked, is just what you need for this cake.
Cranberry sauce
Cranberry sauce is often enjoyed as part of a festive table, but is it normally shop-bought. Making it yourself means that you know exactly what goes into it. This recipe does include pre-made apple or red currant jelly, but rather than using it as is, you can enhance the flavour and texture by adding citrus rind, port or muscadel and dried fruit.
Klein vark-&-appelburgers
Sodra die vakansie aanbreek, is jou roetine hopelik ook bietjie rustiger. Dis ’n ideale tyd om die kinders in die kombuis te laat help. Hoe meer hulle daar betrokke is, hoe groter is die kans dat hulle opgewonde is om dit te eet waarmee hulle gehelp het. En moenie verbaas wees as hulle dan ook meer avontuurlustig is met nuwe geure en bestanddele nie. Hierdie varkburgers is so maklik om te maak en selfs ’n kleiner kind kan help om die maalvleismengsel in balletjies te rol. Die geurkombinasie van varkvleis, appel, kruie en speserye is heerlik.
