176: Walnut and candied peel tartlets, p379

More pastry I didn't make and got out of a packet instead! :) Ah well, that's one thing I haven't mastered during this year...

I wasn't really looking forward to these too much, not being a fan of candied peel, but these were really rather yummy - like a nutty alternative to mince pies. The golden syrup and the candied peel melted together to make a chewy filling to the little tarts. Yum!

152: Lemon amaretti pots, p162

An easy peasy, quick pudding to make - a good one for future dinner parties when there's not much time... and anything with lemon curd in it has to be a winner! I don't particularly like crumbled biscuits/cake mixed in with softer ingredients, find it an odd texture, especially when they get soft themselves - ick, so I think if I did this again I would put a layer of crumbled amaretti biscuits on the bottom of the glasses/ramekins and/or on the top of the cream/yoghurt/lemon curd mixture. And swirl the lemon curd in last, so you get streaks of lemon curd throughout the creamy mixture - think that would look prettier too.
