Got an early start on the challenge and cooked Pam’s Cherry Ripe and Aunty Pat’s Caramel Slice.
Was very excited to be in the kitchen, but waited until everyone went out. Alex was at home and ‘helping’ me with the recipes, but I totes didn’t need her (except that I had no idea how to melt copha or what it was meant to look like when it melted – complex I know)!
V excited when I got to write a note at the bottom of the recipe (NB/ chop cherries first).
Reluctantly took to the two slices to the Secret Santa Party at Carly’s house (there was enough to feed an army and considering my friends don’t eat much, I thought I may have over-catered) but they were both a hit! Sarah loved them and said she liked them equally – which as it was Sarah, I know was the truth! Most of it got eaten and John (Carly’s dad) had a red hot go at the leftovers. Success.
Got eight new recipes from secret santa attendees. Lots to try! Can’t wait. Was an inspiration to Jenna who went and bought the same book for herself.
Tips: I think the Caramel was slightly overcooked. I used mum and dad’s oven but will next time leave it in for slightly less time.
Music: Loud Genius of Sonia Dada.
Without having tried the caramel, and having the cherry after it had been frozen & defrosted I will validate it's delicious-ness. It was better than many a slice I have paid good money for from various "French" bakeries.
