Baked Apple - I just cored a cooking apple and but a desert spoon of mince meat in the hole, put in slow cooker with a dash of apple juice in the bottom and put on LOW for 3 hrs. tasted good. might use a eating apple next time as with no added sugar was a bit tart!
I refused to syn the apple as only eating the 1. and the apple juice wasnt eaten, could just use water to make some moisture in the slow cooker.
( i nicked the idea from a Slow cooker book i was looking through in Waterstones, waiting for my bookworm friend to finishe looking for her books ( half a hour! - i copied a fish recipe out too, which will try one week)
Well the goats cheese tart, i am making up as i go along....lol using 1/2 sheet filo pastry i reckon - 3syns, 1 or 2 goats cheese babybel( 3.5syns each - although i didnt think they were that high....lol I'm below target now, and hubby never has enough milk or cheese so it wont bother us), and the syn free onion marmalade. will let you know how they go.
( i used the goats cheese babybel on my rosti pizza last night, and was very yummy.

Thanks Honey. I have not seen the goats cheese babybels in the shops. I must pay attention! I had goats cheese on my pizza and counted it as a HeB. I love it.
Now I think of it, I don't think I have had pastry for 3 months
Must give this a go.
The baked apple with mincemeat sounds lovely and Christmassy

was a sweet potato baked in the oven. then i made caramelised onion ( could use the syn free onion marmalade) and then cut open the sweet potato, topped with the onion mix and then HEA of cheese of your choice over the top and grilled to melt and brown cheese.
was really yum and a nice change from normal jacket spud
