THRILLED TO BE NAMED THE BEST IN THE SOUTH WEST!

We were over the moon to win a gold at this year’s Flavour Awards after entering the Bed & Breakfast category in early summer. The icing on the cake we thought was the subsequent letter that arrived at the beginning of October inviting us to the glittering awards bash at the Eden Project.

Little did we know that not only had we won a gold in our category but also the overall title of ‘South West Bed & Breakfast of the Year’ from the award organisers Taste of the West and media partners The Western Morning News.

This is the 19th year the awards have been held and the first time we have entered. The judges scored every aspect of our business but seemed particularly impressed with the emphasis we put on the local food and drink that we serve.

Other main category winners on the day included Darts Farm (South West Farm Shop of the Year), The Lazy Toad (South West Dining Pub of the Year) and the Conservatory Restaurant (South West Restaurant of the Year).

Confiture de lait (Dulce de leche argentino)

JB — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 20:20:10 +0000

I think it’s the most magical jam for a lazy sunday morning with a toast of brioche and a cup of earl grey. Please try and let me know your thoughts

ingredients

For a 250 g jar you need 1 litre of full fat milk-250g sugar- vanilla extract -¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda

preparation

1 Boil the milk and pour into a saucepan after filtration well as high milk jam ‘up’ during cooking.

Add the sugar, vanilla extract and baking soda. Bring to a boil over high heat (the soda produces a foam) and then boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon so that it sticks to the bottom of the pan.

2 When the jam starts to take a milk caramel color and thicken as a light sauce, try a test: stir with a spoon and you can see the bottom, it’s ready!

Remove from heat and let cool before transferring to a sterilized jar.

While Cooling the milk jam, it = will thicken.
