Leg of Pork with roasted parsnips, carrots and potatoes.
A garlic and rosemary stuffing, gravy and apple sauce.
For pudding something very light...Peaches and custard.
As I speak.....Soaking in 6 fl oz of hot tea are..... sultanas, a handful of cranberries, a few glace cherries and a cup of chopped dates . After a few hours I'll add flour, pinch of salt, brown sugar and eggs. This is a wonderful Teabread, and it's so easy to make. And I'm all for making things easy especially after Christmas.
I've been cooking a lot over the holiday.
Made a very nice Beef Cobbler and a Honeyed Lamb and Apple Casserole.
Both these dishes went down well with our guests. The Lamb Casserole is my favourite lamb dish.
I also made a Victorian style Rice Pudding yesterday, along with the full fat milk and evaporated milk (I'd run out of cream) I dropped in a handful of sultanas and dried chopped apricots and for extra warmth a sprinkling of cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and Bay leaf. Which, I must say, surprised me. I managed to remember to fish it out before serving up bowlfuls of the creamy golden pudding.
It was good.
I'm looking forward to lots more cooking in 2015. And I will, as usual, write about it...
