Really easy dessert. Sandwich a pack of ginger nut biscuits together with thickly whipped cream to make a log. Cover whole log (top and sides) with whipped cream, put in fridge for an hour or more. Just before serving decorate with whatever you like - I use mandarin orange slices and choc sprinkles. Looks great, tastes great and can be made early in the day.

When certain fruits are at their cheapest ( if you dont grow them yourself) that is the time to buy and process them for the freezer or bottle them for later use. Apples, stewed, or sliced and par cooked and frozen will give you a range of desserts such as fruit cobbler, fruit sponge, steamed puddings, or even just the stewed fruit with custard. You can make an apple shortcake which is great for a dessert with custard or ice-cream. Golden syrup dumplings are made in a large saucepan and they are super easy and quick to do as are wee chocolate pots cooked in a water bath.
