Chocolate Brownie Truffles – Two Ways
"These are probably the best chocoalates I've ever had!"
"This chocolate is amazing!"
"The orange one is like Terry's x 1 million!"
"It feels so good in my mouth."
It's safe to say these chocolatey treats are a BIG hit! You wouldn't believe how easy they are to make either. Some of you die hard fans might be a bit like "Didn't you post this recipe before?!" You're right, I did. Buuuuut since then I've jazzed them up a bit with Cardamom & Vanilla and Orange. I personally like the Cardamom & Vanilla ones best, but to be honest, they are both so dang delicious.
Cranberry, Orange & Cinnamon Jam
As you may have noticed, Cranberry and Orange have been a festive favourite of mine. I don't want to blow my own trumpet or anything but this jam was pretty darn good. The cranberries added a little tartness which is a welcome addition to an otherwise sweet conserve. The cinnamon taste is subtle, some may say too subtle, but as we are talking about jam here, I think, subtle enough! All in all, this jam is perfect for say, homemade croissants! It's pretty easy to make as well. I did not have a jam thermometer at the time, so it involved a lot of guess work. Last summer I went to an Afternoon Tea cookery class at Waitrose Cooking School, where I learnt a few jam making tricks, which came in handy.
I made this jam in November but I couldn't blog about it then as it was to be part of the Christmas Hamper I was making for my parents. I was pretty chuffed with the hamper I put together. Take a look...
