Monday evening was our village Harvest supper. This year I had to bake 50 potatoes and two apple pies!
Luckily not the casserole!!! Rather than adding sugar in with the apples I made a toffee sauce with 2 tbsp of golden syrup, 2 tbsp of muscavado sugar and 1 tbsp of butter, simmered until the sugar dissolved and then 2 tbsp of cream added - Sticky Toffee Apple Pie! I will definitely be making this again!
The auction was frenetic and I ended up paying £7 for 2 pork chops (orchard fed and locally reared - I felt as if I was buying part of someones pet!) - luckily it was for charity so I didn't feel too bad at my extravagant purchase.
Wonderful marrows and baskets filled with home made bread and jam. Here are Lucy, Andrew Millie and David all enjoying the evening!

Looks like a great time was had by everyone! I love those kinds of events!
ReplyDeleteI love these events. I will definitely try the toffee. Sticky Toffee Apple Pie! That sounds amazingly good. I actually make the apples in a caramel-ish sauce. Its amazing! A double crusted apple pie with a thin layer of caramel over the apples. It's great.
ReplyDeleteHaha, i know what you mean by you felt you were buying someones pet. however, the fact that it was for charity is great!!
It looks like you guys really enjoyed this event, and it sounds brilliant too!
