Baking

Made some pink pickled onions with one of our homegrown red onions. Looks so pretty.

I picked our first apples from the garden, so had to make a spiced apple cake

When I sorted out my cake tin cupboard I found a flan tin that I forgot I had.  So had to use it, and made a fruit flan.  

Last summer we had a wonderful large crop of cherry plums.  We ate a lot fresh but I did manage to freeze some.  Today I made a cherry plum frangipani tart.  I based it on the traditional “Bakewell tart”. It has a pastry base, a layer of homemade raspberry jam, a frangipani cake filling and then I added the homegrown cherry plums on top.  I made too much frangipani cake batter so made a few muffins as well.
