Sometimes I take photos and forget to upload them to my blog. Today I was looking through my Christmas photos from 2010 and found these bright orange beauties. How did I forget to post these!! My photography has improved a lot since I took these, but I decided that they are still pretty enough to post.
I first discovered this recipe while watching Christmas specials on Food Network Canada. The original recipe is called Clementine Jelly and aired in a special show called Jamie’s Best Ever Christmas. I hope they show reruns of the episode this year, because it’s such a fun holiday special, and Jamie is so enjoyable to watch.
This recipe combines the fresh tangy taste of Mandarin oranges with a tiny amount of ginger juice. The ginger just brightens up the taste of the oranges, so don’t be afraid to add it in. This jelly is so easy to make, and can be prepped in advance. Just pop them out of the fridge, top with whatever you like, and serve. The original recipe calls for natural yoghurt combined with vanilla syrup, and then is topped with grated chocolate. I went for a lower-calorie version and just added blueberries on top. You could add whipped cream and grated chocolate, that would probably be very tasty. [Read more...]
My schedule is a little bit crazy right now, and I’m falling behind in my blogging. Case in point: I started writing this post on November 25, and today is November 28.
