Oh goodie, more recipe's to add to last years recipe's. Don't know about a photo though, Won't be able to get that until Christmas! Don't know if any old pictures have a good enough shot of the food, but I can do a recipe!

[autisticwonder]

YUMMY idea!! GOT it!!

[angelwithin]

here's a very English traditional recipe that we eat over the holiday period every year, there are now hundreds of ready made versions of mince pies now on sale in every supermarket, and most people cheat now by buying pre-made mincemeat in jars and frozen pastry :eek: but being as i love to cook (and cos my mum makes the mincemeat up ready for me each year lol) i make my own

they are scrummy served warm with clotted cream (extra thick double cream works well too)

[angelwithin]

Heres two more

christmas pudding and the kids favourite sugar mice :D

plus i've added my card template if anyone wants to use it :rolleyes:

[O2BNGdHope]

Ha Ha Ha! I was just going to ask you for that! Thanks for sharing.

[O2BNGdHope]

Hmmmm....this "around the world" recipe thing might be kinda hard. Suet is something I put out for the birds and what in the world is Sultanas? I'm afraid to look at the sugar "mice". Not sure I want to know what the "mice" are. LOL!

[sacannon]

ooh thank you. I am not one for mince meat though. My aunt use to make it from scratch too. My dad loved it.

sultana raisins are golden raisins (dried grapes)

suet is used in tons of english recipes lol

and........sugar mice are just pure sugary indulgence :D

[O2BNGdHope]

Whew! Thanks for the info on the mice. Maybe I'll go check it out. You know, those Love to Bake freebies would be good for this challenge, too.

Thanks Hope I was thinking the same thing...<wink> I have 8 pages in the Templates forum...All for baking...hehehehe....
Love the pages Fiona...I have never tried that mince stuff you are talking about...But everything looks so good...:D

[angelwithin]

this one isn't a food recipe but it's beautiful ;)

[sacannon]

Here is mine. I didn't have a picture so I attempted to create one in a Glass dish. I don't know if you can tell from this what it actually looks like or not??? I forgot to mention that is use a 9 x 13 baking dish. Papers and corners are from Winged Ohio.

:D sounds yummy sue

[CrystalInMinn]

My Mom would take me over to my Grandmothers and we would make mince meat every winter season. It's a fond memory. Not something I go out of the way for but I still like it. Great LO's Fiona. Sue, looks really good. I'll be on this later today or tomorrow. Can't wait!!

[CrystalInMinn]

Yes, I am a self proclaimed cookie magician... I really excell at fancy cookies, I make 'em and then the boys make them disappear! hee hee.

[sacannon]

mmmmm! I love both of those!

[wolvsie35]

These are all great....WOW...Thanks...I don't know if I will have time to do this challenge, but I will try...hehehe...Don't mind snagging these tho...<wink> Love ya:D

[CrystalInMinn]

I forgot to mention that I did the layout with real sugar. Since I have sugar trouble I use ganular Splenda, sugar substitute, instead. It works great because it is on the outside of the cookies. I also do this for Rosettes and donuts as well. Not many can tell the difference.

[angelwithin]

congrats to Sacannon & Crystalinminn....knzus will be in contact with you as she is giving the prize this week :D
