I only discovered that I liked mustard quite recently. The gentle start I needed was French Dijon Mustard, adding sparingly to the odd thing. Then we started bringing it back from France. Then I started putting it in salad dressings. Now I make it.
We don't eat salad very often in winter. But when we do, I like gorgeous dressing. This Raw Honey and Mustard Salad Dressing fits the bill, and it knocks the socks off anything you can buy.
Fancy making a lovely drink but there's no fresh fruit around? Even during the winter months you can make some wonderful homemade drinks from dried fruit. Here's a beautiful recipe for Homemade Apricot Liqueur which is easy to make, and lovely enough to give away as gifts.
This Homemade Granola Recipe has been adapted over time and is highly flexible. So if you don’t have cranberries or prefer some other dried fruit, put that in instead.
Invariably when I buy fudge in a shop, I am disappointed. It tends to be soft and chewy. I want it crumbly, like it was in my childhood. So I set about making my own.
I've made Homemade Irish Cream a few times over the years. After much fiddling to get the taste as close as possible to that-brand-beginning-with-B's Irish Cream, this is the winner. It was a tough job, but somebody had to do it.
