Peach Melba Slice



The Recipe:

1 tin peaches
3 tbsp raspberry jam
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1/2 cup caster sugar
10 tbsp 'Flora Cuisine' (or melted butter/marge)
4 tbsp creme fraiche or sour cream

Make it:

Slice the peaches, pat with kitchen towel to remove excess moisture and stir in the creme fraiche to coat. Meanwhile mix the flour sugar and flora/butter until it resembles claggy sand:

.....and press it firmly into a deep dish lined with baking paper. Bake at 160' for approx 20 mins (it does not need to brown!)
When baked allow to cool for about 10 mins, then spread with the jam. Tumble the peach mixture on top, level it out a bit and whack it back in the oven for about 25 mins. The creme fraiche will look a bit like a soft set custard when you get it out. Allow to cool for a bit before removing from the dish and slicing up. Eat warm or cold.

Lemony Coconut Biscuit Bars - no bake!

So, with a day full of rain yesterday what was I to do other than get my pinny on and try out some new recipes? This one is adapted from a recipe in The 4 Ingredients Cookbook, but I've altered ingredients to make it how I like it!

The Recipe:

200g of crushed up digestive biscuits (could also use Rich Tea biscuits)
130g melted butter
1/2 can condensed milk (i used 'light')
zest of 2 lemons
1 cup dessicated coconut

Make 'em:

Mix the melted butter and condensed milk, then add all other ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined. line a square dish with some cling film and press the mixture in firmly. Allow to set in the fridge for about 2 hours, then cut into slices/bars of your choice. WARNING: These are bloody moreish when lazing around on a Sunday afternoon watching telly!!
