Evil Witch & The Poisoned Apple Milkshake

Who doesn't love milkshakes. There are so many flavours and varieties to choose from, the list is endless.

I made some apple sauce for dinner and had some left over. I decided to try it in a milkshake, then thought about making a Halloween type of milkshake.

To make the apple sauce combine 3 apples, peeled, cored and cut into chunks with 2-3 tablespoons of cold water, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 teaspoons lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for 10-12 minutes or until apples have softened. Allow to cool then puree until smooth.

Ingredients

1 packet red jelly

1 1/2 cups milk

1 cup ice cream

3 tablespoons apple sauce

1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon sugar

Method

Make up jelly according to packet directions. Pour some at the bottom of your chosen glass. Allow to set. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into your prepared glass.

I melted some red chocolate melts and dripped it over the edge of the glass to give it a spooky blood look.

Get the kids involved in the atmosphere.

Drink me if you dare!

Hickory-Honey Ham...Christmas With The Kranks

I got this Christmas movie cookbook during our 2022 holiday to LA see here and I still haven't made anything from it, so for our Christmas in July, I thought I would try the Hickory-Honey ham from the movie Christmas with The Kranks. Scenes from the movie where Nora is running towards the last ham in the store, only to be outsmarted by an elderly lady. I managed to get a couple of reduced shoulder hams from woolies back in May so this gave me an excuse to try a recipe from the book. We also got some Hickory smoking chips for the BBQ. It is a ham that has been smoked over Hickory wood chips for several hours, served with a honey gravy, not out of a tin which it is in the movie. Ingredients 8 cups hickory or other hardwood chips 2 large aluminum foil pans 1 (4kg) fully cooked bone in ham 1/4 cup salted butter 1 shallot, minced 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1 tsp ground ginger 1/...

Corned Beef Stovies

We love stovies, the perfect comfort food for cold evenings and an ideal way to use up leftover meats.

Cover with lid, turn heat up to medium-high, bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer, stirring every few minutes. Cook for 40-50 minutes or until potato is soft and tender. 4. Using a potato masher, roughly break the potatoes into smallish pieces. Cut corned beef into small chunks. Add to potatoes, season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined and corned beef has brea...
