Christmas tree alternative...


Little Molly still loves to chew things so sadly there will be no Christmas tree up in our place this year... Im nervous the tree may get eaten. This could be a possible gorgeous alternative!? Pretty and pet friendly!? Perhaps this weekend I should head to the shops and find something lovely, you would not know it was Christmas in our home right now! Kellie xx

Delicious caramels...


I decided we needed something festive in our home given Christmas is only a few weeks away. I made some caramel lollies to keep in little bowls around our home. They are delicious! The only thing I found a little tricky was cutting through the bottom of the caramel, I think its because I let the caramel get too cool. Other than that, it was delicious!

Here is the recipe if you would like to try it:

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, more for greasing pan
1½ cups heavy cream
2 cups sugar
½ cup golden syrup
Pinch salt
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract, optional.

1. Lightly grease a 9-inch-square baking pan. Combine all ingredients except vanilla in a broad saucepan or deep skillet and turn heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves.

2. Mixture will bubble and darken; when color is dark beige and mixture measures 235 degrees on a candy thermometer, it is butterscotch sauce. (Use immediately or refrigerate for up to several weeks; warm in a microwave oven or over hot water to soften.) To make caramels, keep cooking and stirring until mixture is even darker, nearly brown, and measures 245 degrees (or until a piece of it forms a firm ball when dropped into a glass of cold water).

3. Stir in the vanilla and pour into prepared pan. Cool, then remove from pan in a block and refrigerate, but not for too long - what you want is a mixture cool enough so that it's not too sticky, but not so cold that it's solid; this is the easiest state in which to cut and wrap.

4. Use a sharp knife to cut caramel into pieces, then wrap each square in waxed paper or plastic wrap. These keep for weeks, especially if refrigerated, but are best eaten fresh and at room temperature.

In any case, place them artfully decorative objects that match the style of the room is located downstairs.
