Brrrr...

Summers seems well and truly over now. There's a definite nip in the air, but I don't really mind. This time of year lends itself to long chilly walks and warming up by the fire afterwards. The colder weather also is a perfect excuse to try out lots of new recipes in the kitchen. This year has been great for soft fruits in my garden, and they can taste fantastic added to tarts and cakes. When you can't use them all at once, simply pop them in the freezer, ready to use when you are. Try apples in a sultana cake, or blackberries in a chocolate sponge, with a warm chocolate sauce, de-lish! Why not share some of your favourite recipes?
