Cherry Pie

It’s cherry season!!! One of my favourite fruits and my god I indulge when they are in season! Each year I make a homemade cherry pie and this one was the best so far! I’m not going to pretend I’m a baker, the shortcrust pastry failed so I won’t share that with you but the filling, now that was incredible!
I try to make it healthy but honestly, if you only eat this once or twice a year why not just enjoy it for what it really is, a sweet, juicy, cherry pie!

I’ve created 4 different types using seasonal vegetables, but go with your style and use whatever you have in the fridge.

Rhubarb Crumble

When Rhubarb is in season, this sweet treat is an excellent way to make the most of it! Crumble is a childhood favourite of mine, I remember helping my grandma prepare the crumble and then excitingly waiting for it to turn golden before grabbing a spoon and scooping up a mouthful, without question, I’d burn my month on the first bite! Thankfully the cool ice cream or cream soothes a hot tongue! I’d then gently eat the crumble off first and mix the rhubarb with the melted ice cream. However you eat it, here’s how to prepare it. This slightly healthier version leaves you feeling satisfied after your sweet treat!
