Bonbons Recipe. How to make mint sauce and mint jelly - New Zealand Womans Weekly. There is nothing quite as Kiwi as serving mint sauce with your roast lamb dinner. We inherited our mint sauce habit from our British and Irish ancestors but the use of mint as a flavouring dates back to medieval times. When I was growing up, roast lamb was never served without a mint sauce whipped up by Mum just before dishing up. She would get me to climb the hill to our neighbour’s house where she had an “arrangement” that we could help ourselves to the huge mound of mint he had growing in the base of an old water tank.

Mint is one of the easiest herbs to grow so why not plant some in your garden? Ginger gems recipe - New Zealand Womans Weekly.

Serves: 6-8Tender buttery apples melting into the crisp pastry base make this dessert a real winner. The butter and sugar caramelise to make a very sweet dessert. The choice of pan is very important as it must have a thick base to cook the apples on the stove top, and then go into a hot oven when the pastry top is added. I use a 20cm French cast-iron deep pan. 100g butter 100g sugar 6 large apples 1 sheet pre-rolled puff pastry Melt the butter and sugar together in the pan and cook gently together.

Heat the oven to 200°C and place a disc of puff pastry on top of the apples. Take from the oven and invert onto a serving plate, so the pastry is on the base.
