As you know I now have a mountain of blood plums on our tree of which are all ready to eat. So of course I am now looking for ways to use them in my everyday cooking. We are already eating them every chance we get, and I often say " Don't forget to eat the blood plums, they are fresh and delicious".And they are fresh and delicious but I also want to get through them.
So as I was doing the shopping yesterday, I thought I would pick up a woman's magazine to read in bed and made my choice and came home. Sure enough as I was going through the magazine, there right in front of me was a blood plum cake recipe. Perfect.
So the reason for this post is to say to never dismiss recipes from magazines or the daily paper.They give great recipes with foods that are in season or recipes which are relevant for certain times of the year. My pancake recipe,for example, came from a recipe out of the newspaper my husband brought home years ago and I still make to this day.
Recipes for me are a trial and error and a visual thing. If it looks good in the picture I will give it a go. Of course there have been some bad cooking experiences and the " I'll never make that again". But my motto has always been, you never know if you don't have a go.
So, don't dismiss recipes and have a go, sometimes you can be pleasantly surprised.
Will keep you posted.
