Christmas Sweets – Sensational Treats!
Christmas Sweets! What is the one thing everyone enjoys at Christmas time? Arguably it could be christmas sweets. There is nothing like a cookie, slice of cake or gum drop around the holidays. Here are some tips to make sure that those delectable morsels are just as tasty as their sugarplum visions.

When you create a recipe that calls for christmas sweets, try chocolate, it is so easy to go wrong here. Instead of using the store-bought chocolate syrup, make your own. Buy the chocolate bricks and melt them yourself. Keep the heat under the saucepan low so that the chocolate doesn’t burn while it melts.

Dark chocolate for christmas sweets is the new healthy chocolate for the 21st century. It is full of antioxidants and great taste. Use it for decorating cakes, cookies, breads and pies. Use some of that melted chocolate in a plastic bag to pipe out all sorts of cool designs onto wax paper. Once they cool, you can carefully place them on any dessert that you wish.
Real Butter For Christmas Sweets
The rest of the year, this word gets sneer and jeers, but at Christmas, it is spot on. There is no substitute for using regular butter in your christmas sweets especially dessert recipes. Well, there is but it won’t give you the same taste or texture in your christmas sweets.

Apple Pie Recipes – The Traditional Pie!

Apple Pie Recipes go right back to the 14th century although they were very different to todays pastries. A cookbook containing the apple pie originated as far back as 1390 A.D.
Apple Pie Recipes Ingredients: 2 ½ cups plain flour, pinch of salt, 250g butter, 2 egg yolks, 1/3 cup sifted icing sugar, 2 tsp grated lemon rind, 1 tbsp lemon juice.
Apple Pie Recipes Method:  Use a bowl to sift flour and salt. Make a well in the middle of flour and add butter slices, egg yolks, icing sugar, lemon rind and lemon juice. Work the well to a paste and work the flour in gradually. Roll pastry into a ball, refrigerate and cover for 30 minutes.
Apple Pie Recipes Filling Ingredients: 5 medium cooking apples, ½ cup apricot jam, 6 cloves, (sugar & milk for glazing).
Apple Pie Recipes Method: Wash, peel and core apples. Slice apples into quarters and slice finely. Sprinkle with cloves. Place 2/3 of the pastry onto a lightly floured board and roll out enough pastry dough to line the base and sides of a lightly greased 28cm x 18 cm pastry tin. Spoon apples into pastry tin and spread jam over apples. Roll out the remainder of pastry to cover the top of the pie. Pinch the top edges around the rim to seal pastry and brush the top with a little milk. Lightly sprinkle sugar over the top. Make sure to slit pie with a knife in 3 or 4 times so that steam can be released. Bake in hot oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to moderate temperature and cook a further 25-30 minutes.
