Brownie Mix in a Jar

-
Around Christmas time I saw a few posts for different varieties of baked good mixes in a jar. I found this one to give to a friend for their birthday. It is the ideal gift for any chocolate lover and a good alternative to a box of chocolates. All the ingredients are thing that you will probably have in your pantry.

Another plus is it is really quick to make and you don't have to do the baking! You will need a 1 litre jar. In the order that the ingredients are listed below layer the ingredients in the jar. (You won't be adding the eggs and butter at this stage. This will be up to the recipient to add when they make their brownie.) Weigh or measure the ingredient in a separate bowl before carefully spooning the ingredients into the jar. Press down ingredients between layers. I just used the back of my spoon to even the layers out.

Once the jar is full place on the lid. You will need to place a tag on the jar with instructions for mixing and baking the brownie. On the tag I wrote:

Combine the contents of the jar with 150 grams of melted butter and 3 beaten eggs. Mix well and pour into a lined 9 x 9 inch tin. Bake at 180 degrees celius for 25-35 minutes. Enjoy!

Attach to the jar with some string or ribbon.



I think that this will not be the only one of these jars that I will make and I can't wait to try some other recipes.

Until next time, happy cooking, Kate.

Rhubarb Jelly

I made Pork for mother's day. (Will post shortly). To go with the Roast Pork I made Rhubarb jelly. Lets get started in a large stock pot place the rhubarb, apple and lemon juice and seeds. Pour over 1.5 litres of water. Bring the pot to a simmer over a medium heat. Once simmering reduce the heat and cook for 1- 1 1/4 hours until pulpy. Strain through a muslin-lined sieve. It should make 1 litre. Do not push the pulp throught the sieve it will make the jelly cloudy. Pour the liquid into a clean saucepan and add the sugar. Stir over a medium to high heat until the sugar resolves. Simmer the mixture until the mixture reaches setting point. To check if it is at setting point chill a saucer in the freezer. Return to the freezer for 1 minutes. If the mixture wrinkles it is ready. Remove from heat, stand for 10 minutes. Remove any scum from the surface and stir in the vinegar. Ladle into sterilised jars. Add a rosemary sprig to each, seal and stand until cooled to room temp...

Peri Peri BBQ Chicken Pizza

This recipe combines some flavours that I really like. And is there anything better that a home made pizza. I have posted my recipe for pizza bases on my lamb pizza  post earlier this year. This recipe is amazing and the more times that you make it the easier it gets! Now for the topping, you can cook this on your BBQ, if you have a BBQ with a hood, otherwise you can grill the chicken and onion in a grill pan on a hot plate. Spray the capsicum with some oil and put into an oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20-30 minutes until the skin begins to black. (If you are doing on your BBQ place them onto the grill and cook until charred all over. Turning as required.) Once cooked place into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow it to stand for 5 minutes. Peel the skin off and deseed. Cut up to your desired size. While you are waiting for the capsicum to seam in the bowl, process the garlic, chilli, paprika and oregano until finely chopped. Add the lemon juice and oil and continue t...

Spice Rub Butterflied Chicken

I has been pretty hot here in Melbourne for the last couple of week and I also haven't had an oven😢 So I was looking for something to cook on the BBQ. I am a fan of butterflied chicken because it cooks quicker than a traditional roast. I also like that it is easier to get marinade to stay on the bird while you are trying to cook it. I made this for my family and some of them, not naming names, aren't huge fans of chilli, so I reduce the amount of flakes that I used. However if I was making it for myself I wouldn't hesitate to use the full amount. I don't think that the full quantity would be to hot at all. Obviously depending on the type of flakes that you use. Preheat your oven or hooded BBQ to 200 degrees Celsius.  I prefer to butterfly my own chickens. It is really easy and once you have done it once or twice and you know where to cut you will never buy one again pre-cut. I suggest watching one of the many videos on YouTube. It will give you the added visua...
