Lemon Sago Dessert with a Sour Cream and Lemon Curd Topping

This edition of Lemon Sago dessert was the best I have ever made, and I've made it often, and I'm sure that's because the flavour of our home grown lemons shone through. I used fully ripened and golden organic lemons from our backyard lemon tree. The lemons on our tree often don't make it to this stage of ripening, poor things, as when I need a lemon, I pluck it from the tree and use it. 

Cherry Jam Steamed Pudding

A steamed jammy pudding is the loveliest surprise dessert that you can cook for the special people in your lives. Every mouthful brings back nostalgic childhood memories for me, as my Mum often cooked steamed puddings with various toppings: jam, golden syrup and treacle, and probably mainly in Winter, however, change of seasons in either hemisphere is still the perfect time. Cherry Jam is the perfect topping, sweet and yet very slightly tart, but any thick homemade jam would also work.

Sticky Date Pudding for a large dinner party

This recipe is great for entertaining a large number of people for lunch or dinner and makes at least 16 serves. It is best to bake this in a large ceramic baking dish. It is one of my favourite puddings.
