Looking for a last minute Christmas Recipe?
This is a great alternative to the traditional Christmas pudding.
The lemon syrup that is poured over these puddings just before you serve them gives it a delicious moistness and the fragrant citrus flavour is irresistible. It also works with oranges instead of lemons and you can replace the sour cream with yoghurt.
You can bake the puddings in advance but don’t make the sugar syrup until you wish to eat it. The pudding reheats well in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. I like to serve it with a dollop of sweetened cream or yoghurt and some poached fruit such as apples or pears.

The PICKERS
🌞 Grow Vertical Tomatoes! 🌞
Short on space? Try growing vertical tomatoes! 🍅

Vertical growing boosts airflow around the plants, which helps prevent disease and makes harvesting a breeze! It also maximizses sunlight exposure, leading to healthier plants and juicier tomatoes. 🌱☀️
Perfect for small gardens, patios, or balconies - give it a try and watch your tomatoes thrive this spring! 🌿
