Yesterday I made butter from last week's left-over cream as described here. I also made wholemeal oat bread as described here except that I used wholemeal, not white, flour and I made a plaited loaf rather than rolls.
This morning I am having wholemeal bread and butter with cheese and chutney for breakfast. An odd breakfast, sure, but everything but the cheese is home made. The chutney is quite old so very, very flavoursome and goes perfectly with the nuttiness of the bread and the creamy (over-salted) butter.
The chutney is a Delia recipe. it is called Christmas Chutney and you can find it here. It's one of those chutneys that just gets better and better and better over time and it is now absolutely wonderful. I first made it as gifts for family many years ago and it was such a hit I have made it several times since. I shudder to think how old the batch I am eating right now is, but it doesn't matter with chutney!
Today Beth is coming over with red cabbages from her allotment and we are having a mega 'Delia's braised red cabbage with apple' making session. It's a wonderful recipe, spicy and fruity and full of flavour and we always have it as part of our Christmas dinner main course. I think she expects us to make loads as she wants quite a lot to go in her freezer as well as for Christmas dinner for eight.
Here is the recipe - do take a look: it's well worth a try.
