A Quick and Tasty Supper.

20 May 2008 - Hemingway 074

A nice fat cauliflower picked-up in the local market for 60p, quick boiled until  just tender and topped with a nice strong cheese  béchamel,  I like a really mature piece of  good cheddar cheese for this job. Getting more flavour by adding a small amount of the juice from the cauliflower into the béchamel and then served with a few crunchy sautéed potatoes and a couple of  large vine tomatoes does the job well!  Good Simple Fare.

And For Dessert.   Rhubarb, plucked from a neighbours garden! – in exchange for a little cake when baking –  and just as fresh as fresh can be. Simply poached in little sugar water and served with some single cream – heaven in a bowl!20 May 2008 - Hemingway 079

BTW: A new poem ” Pain and Marchpane”  for those who like them  posted on http://www.susiehemingway.blogspot.com

Lemon Curd – A Winning Taste!

April 14 2008  Jenny's Award Winning Lemon Curd -  A 1st.***** 

How wonderfully good is Lemon Curd, spread thickly on hot buttered toast, absolutely delicious and a wonderful pick-me-up at anytime of the day or even night!  My Sister Jenny, who lives at ‘Orchard End ‘ in the Village, came up with this years winning jar at our Village Flower and Vegetable Show.  Being an excellent cook, Jenny gaining the 1st Prize, was really no surprise to us all.  I will from time to time,  ‘blog’  some more of  her wonderful recipes. So for lovers of this really superb spread, I print the winning recipe below. Do hope you try it.

Lemon Curd – made with love.

Rind of  3 large lemons. Juice of 2 Large Lemons. 8ozs Castor Sugar.   4ozs unsalted butter. 2 large eggs.                                                   

Put lemon rind and juice, sugar and butter into a basin over simmering water. Stir until sugar has dissolved, Add the well-beaten eggs and continue to stir until thickened ( about 10 min’s)  until curd coats the back of a wooden spoon. Pour into sterilised jars and seal. Allow to cool and store in fridge, Pretty cotton lids made from scrapes of clean linen and trimmed with pinking shears, completes the picture, …  I did say store -  Still you could always get the toast and butter ready!
