Afternoon tea

On Sunday, I invited my family over for afternoon tea in the garden. We had a selection of jam tarts, meringues, apple and cinnamon cake and butterfly cakes filled with white chocolate frosting. The most popular by far was the meringues with a dollop of cream and handful of raspberries. Delicious!

Happy Stir up Sunday!

Today is Stir Up Sunday. The last Sunday before Advent.  I made my xmas puddings today, after soaking the fruit is brandy overnight. They are now steaming away in the slow cooker for several hours. This process makes them very moist and full of flavour. Stir-up Sunday dates back to Victorian times, when cooks prepared the Christmas pudding by stirring the mixture and adding silver coins as good luck token!
