Low Sugar Orange and Grapefruit Marmalade
It is, I think, the 10th of my 12 Days of Christmas blogposts. Today I made a batch of our low sugar orange and grapefruit marmalade. It is still sweet but uses far less processed sugars and so theoretically is good for you.

Almond Perry Pudding with Pear & Perry Syrup
Because I’ve not used conventional wheat flour in this recipe it has been difficult to perfect. However the use of Perry (not Pear Cider!) lifts the this almond perry pudding with pear & perry syrup and creates a delicate flavour.

Quick Lemonade
