This is very easy to make. You don't need to use lemon curd though you can put golden syrup or jam in the bottom instead so it is versatile. No more steaming up a kitchen - four minutes in the microwave. Easy/ quick and simple. Using just eggs, baking powder, caster sugar, self rising flour and butter. This tastes divine and is always cooked right through in the microwave.

There is nothing like the taste of home made lemon curd. Shop bought is no comparison. This is so easy to make too and if you can stop yourself eating it all before you put it in the jar well done you! Until you have tried the fresh version you haven't tasted real lemon curd at all. Then you can use it on sandwiches, or in the quick microwaved pudding also featured on the channel., or in home made lemon curd tarts. It's made with only eggs, lemons, butter and granulated sugar.

Part of the fun of making the Blackberry Jam is the going out and picking them yourself. It's free food! You can freeze the blackberries too if you pick too many and use them later. Always check and wash them first for any little Caterpillar's etc. If you like you can make little blackberry jam tarts too like the jam tarts we used to make with leftover pastry bits. The children enjoy collecting them too. My daughter who was five at the time said, If you make it I will review it!" Flippin' heck. So I said "Ok then and I can always edit it if you don't like it!" What's editing? She asked. As it happened she did review it and she liked it! By the way you could also do this with raspberries or strawberries instead.

Christmas isn't complete without Irish coffee, and you have to use proper Irish whisky as it has a mellow taste unlike Scottish. We used Nescafe because it's the best. I don't drink anything else! We also used squirty cream but you can use real cream if you want to as that's the correct way to do it! The squirty cream worked well though here too. These were served in Irish coffee style glasses too. Available here

Well who doesn't love a chocolate pudding. Microwaveable as well, so it's fast and easy. Maybe too easy ha! The chocolate pudding we had to mess about with the water content to get it just right. So we had to try many samples.....that's our excuse anyway. Then there was the mint custard. Although my daughter who was five at the time and didn't like mint, would say mint was the worst thing that she had ever tasted! So we have to do a custard version just for her. Oh well more for us...i could have made it a pink colour but she would still know. Kids have amazing sensory perception. There never seems to be any of this particular chocolate pudding left over for the next day either? Oh and it's good with custard too, and cream, and.....you choose.
