Choc Truffles
50g Butter 100g Cooking Choc About 1 cup Icing Sugar 1 Tblspn Rum (or a couple of tespns of rum essence) 1 tsp Cocoa Coconut or Chocolate Hail Melt butter and chocolate on stovetop (gently) and add 1/2 cup of icing sugar. Stir til its thick enough to handle. Add rum and cocoa and enough of the remaining icing sugar to make a nice thick mix. Roll tablespoon fulls into balls and roll in coconut or chocolate hail (I use hail coz DP hates coconut!). Chill til firm and voila  It makes about 15 so I triple the recipe.
Bacon Bean Parcels (for 6 people) 400g Green Beans 6 thin slices middle rasher bacon (remove rind) OR prosciutto 1 TBlspn Olive Oil Cook beans, drain and refresh under cold water. Divide into 6 equal portions and wrap in a slice of bacon/proscuitto. You can do this up to 2 hours before serving it if you want to be abit ahead just chill. Preheat oven to 200deg, place beans in bacon on tray and drizzle with oil. Roast for approx 10 minutes or until bacon/proscuitto is crispy and serve immediately  It puts abit of a fancy spin on beans!
Herby Hasselback Potatoes 2kg peeled Potatoes 2 tablespoons Olive Oil 1 TBlspn chopped Rosemary (I just use dried usually also try other fave herbs) 2 Tspns Sea Salt (or whatever salt you have) Pepper Preheat oven to 180deg and line a baking tray with paper. Cut peeled potatoes into halves crosswise. For each potato place cut or flat side down and make thin evenly spaced slices about 2/3s of the way through the potato. Keep them as close together as you can. Place potato cut or flat side down on tray, brush with oil and sprinkle with herbs, S&P. Bake for approx 45 minutes til golden and crispy. These are delish and a big fave in our house! -------------

Lemonade
3 1/2 cups sugar 4 cups boiling water 16 cups cold water 4 1/2 cups chopped lemons 200ml cider vinegar Combine sugar and boiling water in food-safe bucket (I just have a normal bucket which is kept in the kitchen for drinks only) and stir til dissolved. Add cold water, lemons and vinegar and mix well. Cover wth a clean teatowel and leave for 48 hours. Strain, bottle and wait. Lemonade should be ready in 12 days or when fizzy. Easy Fruit Mince Palmiers 2 TBlspns Demerara Sugar 375g block of frozen Puff Pastry, thawed and cut in half 1/2 cup Fruit Mince (brought or made) Preheat oven to 220deg and line 2 trays with baking paper. Sprinkle a clean, flat surface with 1 TBspn Demerara, top with half pastry block and roll out to a 25x15cm rectangle. Trim edges. Spread 1/4 cup of fruit mince over pastry, Fold long sides in to meet at centre then fold over lengthwise. Cut into 1 cm wide pieces. Open slightly to form a V shape and place on prepared trays. Chill for 15 minutes, repeat with other half of ingredients. Bake for 15-20 minutes or til puffy and golden. Let cool for 5 minutes and put on wire rack. This is an alternative to fruit mince pies and they're yummy -------------
