    I picked my apples from my baby trees today and made the most delish apple pie

    Crust

    3 cups of dessicated coconut
    3/4 cup of butter - melted

    Mix together, then line a pie dish with the coconut - reserve about a third for later.
    Bake at 150 degrees for 30 mins - or till golden brown

    Pie Filling

    Apples - about 1kg
    3/4 cup butter
    1 tsp cinnimon
    3TBS Agave syrup or splenda

    Cook all ingredients in a pot on the stove till the apple is soft.
    Pile into the crust

    Topping

    Take the remaining coconut and butter mixture, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla seeds and 2 TBS Agave Syrup - add about 4TBS of cream too - mix well.

    Top the pie with the topping mixture, then bake for 30 mins in a 150 degree oven

    Serve with whipped cream

    Plum Jam - Lorraine's recipe created summer 2011

    4 lbs Plums roadside collected

    3 cups Raw sugar

    6 trusses Elderberries

    Boiled as per usual until a little formed a skin. It set really well.

    You may find the recipe hit and miss, however good recipes come from this start I think.

    I thought it might be a kind of brownie - it sounds great. Here are some sourdough recipes/experiments I have been making lately: http://nourishingrevolution.blogspot.com/2010/10/ways-with-sourdoun...
