perfect summer food - when my mam used to do strawberries she alwys used to let them stand in sugar for a few hours before and sweeten up the cream.

last night i did the same, cut up the strawberries and put them in lots of sweetener then made 'cream' using natural yogurt which i made runny with milk from my allowance and sweetener. tasted exactly the same and 100% super free!!!

I though my SWC told us yesterday that sugar free jelly was free on green day & to make it up with half the water, leave to cool then whisk in mullerlight to make a sort of jelly mousse but I've just looked up Harley's sugar free jelly 11.5g sachet on syns online & it's 1.5 syns. I know it's not much but it all adds up.

Yesterday I made lemon and lime sugar free jelly and mixed in a tub of Muller light Mandarin yoghurt. It was reallllllly nice. Would make a great substitute filler for lemon meringue pie.. trying to think what could be used for the base..

The Chick Pea Cake question of taste?? I have found using a tin of chick peas gives the cake an over powerign taste of chick peas and little else - using the dried version and soaking them/cooking yourself seems to work a lot better. X 2 sachets of dark choc highlights works well with it - as does the juice and rind of a lemon!

Just made this and it was gorgeous!!!

1 Asda meringue nest
strawberries
Blueberries
banana
Yogurt

Slice up strawberries and banana, and grab a handful of blueberries.

Break up meringue and throw a portion of it in the bottom of a highball glass.

Use some of the fruit for the next layer

Next use your favorite flavour of Syn free yogurt.

Repeat until all fruit and meringue is used up and top off with the last of the yogurt

2.5 syns for the meringue and the rest is free

Has anyone tried the cherry and almond clafoutis receipe there is on the website at the mo?

Michelle Webb from Andover, Hampshire sent us this gorgeous recipe that’s a clever conversion of the traditionally high-Syn dessert, clafoutis. Michelle says “It’s great served with a dollop of very low fat fromage frais, or a scoop of ice cream (for 5½ Syns)”.
Serves: 8
Syns per serving:
1 Syn on Green and Original
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour
ingredients

4 eggs
6-7 tbsp artificial sweetener
1 tsp almond essence
1 tsp vanilla essence
500g very low fat fromage frais
400g fresh cherries
method

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C/Gas 2. Beat together the eggs, sweetener, almond essence, vanilla essence and fromage frais until well mixed.
2. Halve and stone the cherries and scatter them over the base of a large flan dish. Pour over the egg mixture and bake for 50–60 minutes. When the dish is cooked, it should feel springy and have started to brown at the edges.
3. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing and eating.
Tip: If you can’t get hold of fresh cherriesyou could use canned cherry pie filling. Drain off the liquid and follow the recipe as before. This would increase the Syn value to 2 Syns per serving.

This sounds lovely (and really low in syns!) and although I'm not too adventurous when it comes to baking - I might give this a go at the weekend!

I did the clafoutis today. you know it was actually pretty nice. I think it may have worked better on some kind of biscuity base (but then there's loads of syns involved if you do that I guess). I made it for 4 of us, it says it serves 8, but i figured we'd want double portions, but we just had 1 normal portion each which was fine. For only 1 syn!! It was pretty creamy. I actually made mine with a combination of vanilla muller light, 0% natural yoghurt and quark as I didn't have the 500g fromage frais, but it worked fine. The cherries were lovely and juicy too. I will make it again, it looked alright but I don't think it would be good enough as a 'show off' dessert, for taking to a party etc, but yeah, it was nice.
