Lovely Eccles cakes Julie. Another thing I haven't made in ages. This is like a trip back to my childhood. Please please, no one make junket though ......ugh!
Your cake looks nice ES. I've never heard of Parkin cake, but the flavours are definitely something I would like.

Thankyou Cookie, Judy and Kimmy.  They were just lovely with a cuppa. 

ES, your cake sounds interesting.  Sounds like you had a busy day. Have saved the recipe, will have to try it. 

Loving this competition, I hope to see more entries in the next week or two.

Your Eccles Cakes look nice Julie.

That's a nice Parkin ES.  I have a GS who loves anything with ginger in it, he would be in 7th heaven with this.

Boo, your Apple Sauces looks good too.  Well done posting your photo.

Well done on posting your photo Boo. What sort of things do you use the Apple Sauce for?

I'm loving all the entries and thought going into the competition. Well done boo on posting your first photo. The cookbook is really lovely and I'm sure who ever wins them will cook loads from it.

Cookie1 my DH has Dutch heritage so Appelmoes (Apple sauce) is eaten just as is by the spoonful especially for breakfast. I use it as savoury sauce with roast meats like pork or lamb. I mix it with yogurt and freeze it for icypoles. It is also good as a thickener for other sauces and I also put it into cakes etc just to replace some of the sugar and eggs. I also mix it with other fruits instead of sugar to make fruit crumbles. As you can see it is a staple in this house.

Thanks.  I could eat lots just as it is but probably for only a certain amount of time. Now I know.

Love your raisin & port pie cookie and the fact that it's a handed down recipe makes it all the more special for this competition.

Thanks Judy. It's an oldie that I haven't made for years.

I've added another picture to my entry (No. 2) of a Lancashire Hotpot I've made for tea tonight.
