			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At Christmas, my sister-in-law, Fran always makesa honey glazed ham, and it&#8217;s fantastic. The cleverness is in the glaze.</p>
<p>So, here&#8217;s my best guess atsomething like it.</p>
<p>Ingredients</p>
<p>Honey- about 3 tablespoons (clear, runny)</p>
<p>brown sugar- about 3 tablespoons</p>
<p>English mustard- I used 3 teaspoons of dry powder</p>
<p>Worcestershire sauce-again, about 3 tablespoons</p>
<p>A handful of maraschino cherries</p>
<p>A can of pineapple rings</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong></strong>Makes about 12</p>
<p>1 cup  whole wheat flour<br />
1 cup  sr flour<br />
1 teaspoon baking powder<br />
1 teaspoon baking soda<br />
1/4 teaspoon salt<br />
2 tsp cinnamon<br />
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature<br />
1/2 cup granulated sugar<br />
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed, divided<br />
1 large egg<br />
1 cup (8 ounces) buttermilk or yogurt<br />
2 large apples, peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped</p>
<p>Preheat the oven to 200c</p>
<p>Mix together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, and set aside. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and add the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar. Beat until fluffy. Add the egg and mix well. Mix in the buttermilk gently. (If you over-mix, the buttermilk will cause the mixture to curdle.) Stir in the dry ingredients and fold in the apple chunks.</p>
<p>Put into muffin tins and sprinkling the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar on top and bake.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m not sure how original this recipe is, Because I&#8217;ve been tinkering with it for years. According toWikipedia Fricassee is a &#8216;type&#8217; of stew rather than an exact recipe &#8211; so I guess I&#8217;m fine. Anyway, here it is..</p>
<ul>
<li>6-8 chicken thighs, skin on</li>
<li>Flour, to roll the chicken in</li>
<li>Salt</li>
<li>1/2 bottle white wine</li>
<li>A handful of shallots, rough chopped</li>
<li>3 cloves garlic</li>
<li>Double cream- about 1 third of a cup</li>
<li>Mushrooms, sometimes</li>
</ul>
<p>Coat the chicken with flour and put into a really hot Oiled pan.Turn once when browned-this. Gives it the deeply chickeny taste.</p>
<p>Add the wine garlic, just smashed, not cut or crushed, and fry for a moment.</p>
<p>Add the wine, salt and a little water so that the chicken is nearly covered.simmer gently till the chicken is tender (90mins +)</p>
<p>Remove the chicken from the stock, let it cool a little and remove the skin and bones.</p>
<p>Sieve the stock and put aside to let the fat float to the top (so it can be skimmed off)</p>
<p>In a pan, fany the shallots and mushrooms, add the stock with the fat removed. There should only be about 1/2 pint of stock. Reduce a little if theres toomuch.</p>
<p>Add back in the stripped chicken, and add the cream.</p>
<p>Check it&#8217;s seasoned properly, and serve. It&#8217;s good with rice or a baked spud. Mmmmmmm.</p>

<p>Pork belly, skin on, in a roasting pan, with foil on top.</p>
<p>cider (enough to cover the pork)</p>
<p>1 tblspoon sugar (less if using a sweet cider)</p>
<p>1/2 tsp salt</p>
<p>tightly wrapped, cook the pork for about 5 hours in a low oven (160c).</p>
<p>Take the pork out of the stock and into a plastic bag. but the pork between 2 chopping boards with a weight on, so that it cools  perfectly flat. It&#8217;ll keep in the fridge for several days.</p>
<p>When you need it, you can cut a piece of pork and roast for 15 mins in a hot oven. The skin will crisp up and bubble (crackling) and the meat warm through again. serve immediately.</p>

This is the best I&#8217;ve got so far- I think the golden syrup helps!</p>
<p>INGREDIENTS<br />
2/3 cup (150ml) melted butter<br />
2 cups (500ml) lightly packed brown sugar<br />
2 eggs<br />
2 tablespoons of golden syrup (flat tablespoon, not piled up)<br />
2 cups (650ml) all-purpose (ie plain) flour<br />
2/3 cup cocoa powder<br />
1 tsp (5ml) baking powder<br />
1 tsp (5ml) baking soda (ie bicarb)<br />
1/4 tsp (1ml or a &#8216;pinch&#8217;) salt<br />
1 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips</p>
<p>METHOD Serves: -<br />
Preheat oven to /190C.</p>
<p>Mix together melted butter, brown sugar, eggs and syrup. Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mixture will form into a stiffish dough. Add a tsp of hot water if it won&#8217;t come together. Stir in chocolate chips until well distributed throughout the dough.</p>
<p>Roll into balls and put onto the baking sheet. The cookies do spread out a bit as they bake so leave room for this.</p>
<p>Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Don&#8217;t allow them to cook too much. Take them off the sheet whilst still hot, but not so hot you can&#8217;t touch the sheet.</p>

a handful of rosemary (5-10x 6&#8243; twigs, leaves on)<br />
garlic<br />
salt<br />
oil</p>
<p>Unroll the leg of lamb so that it&#8217;s a flat slab. Using a sharp butcher&#8217;s knife on the inside of the joint, you can cut into  the meat to open it up fully, so that it lies flat and about 1&#8243; to 1.5&#8243; thick</p>
<p>Using a small sharp knife, push holes into the joint and push garlic cloves and/or rosemary into the hole.  (a holes about 2-3&#8243; apart)</p>
<p>Rub olive oil all over, then sprinkle with salt. </p>
<p>Cook on a medium heat bbq for about 20-30 minutes or until it&#8217;s as pink (or grey!) as you like!</p>

<p>Use fresh minced beef, not frozen. Season the mince, and split into 4 portions. Shape into burgers and flatten/press to just under 1/2 inch think. They should hold together ok. </p>
<p>Great for a bbq, but ok under the grill. </p>
