I've consulted my trusty list of foods in season this month and I'm struck by just how many of them can be slightly tricky to get your hands on in an ordinary day. It would seem that being 'in season' doesn't necessarily make it easy to find! And with Christmas just around the corner I am very aware of how much there is to do and how little time there is to do it. Soooooooooooooo, this months 'special' ingredient is one that is very easy to find, they are in prolific supply for most of the year and if the fresh variety fails to appeal then feel free to fulfil the brief by using it in another form ... maybe juice ... or dried ... or sauce?
Have you guessed what it is yet?
Yep - you got it! APPLES. I'm going to have to put my thinking cap on for this one, can't wait to see what you come up with. Just remember once you've blogged about it, link it back to this post and then send an email to weshouldcocoa@yahoo.co.uk including your name, your blog name, a link to your post and a photo to be included in the round up. Do all of this no later than the 25th of November and you'll be immortalised forever in the We Should Cocoa November 2011 Round Up which I will post here before the 1st December. Happy baking ;0)
Apples? Apples? *pulls worried face*
ReplyDeleteOh yum - I love the combination of chocolate and apples! Having skipped the chilli, I'm definitely diving back in to this one. In fact, I think I already have an idea... :)
ReplyDeleteApples and chocolate? now that's a challenge! I have baked lots with apples and chocolate but never together. Challenge accepted :)
ReplyDeleteNothing like a good challenge! Will definitely need to put my thinking cap on for this one! Great choice though : )
ReplyDeleteapples apples apples apples... i love it!... apples and chocolate and a divine combo... I even have the recipe in mind... love it!... love you!... oh and i'm up in Edinburgh on Sunday for a couple of days... fancy tea?
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, what a great suggestion! Can't wait to get cracking with this one!
ReplyDeleteHe he, just when I thought I'd had my fill of apples for this year! I've already made several apple and chocolate combinations, so will have to get my thinking cap on to see if I can come up with something a bit different. Great seasonal ingredient.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Chele. Apples are, indeed, ubiquitous!
ReplyDeleteApples, that's cool! LOL! XX
ReplyDeleteAm so relieved as I thought it was going to be oranges...apples it is! Bring on the corer! :-))
ReplyDeleteNow this is certainly a challenge.......and one I would like to embrace! I will have a good long think x
ReplyDeleteChele, do I need to be initiated into this chocolate circle or can I just come up with an amazing apple/chocolate recipe and be part of your world? :)
ReplyDeleteI like it! Now what shall I do?

ReplyDeleteUmmmm looking forward to this one.
ReplyDeleteOoh apples sounds good, mainly as I have 3 bramleys to use up! Going to try and remember this and take part hopefully this time!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've tried the apple and chocolate combination before - nice challenge Chele!!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to blogging and found yours. I'm a fellow chocoholic. Darkchocoholic lol. This challenge sounds fun. I'd love to follow you. I would love some supporters as well follow me if you'd like.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
I don't want to boast, but I have just had the most BRILLIANT idea... and I think it's going to work fantastically!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I never put apples and chocolate together, but this has given me the push to try a recipe I've had my eye on for a while - I'm mid-way through baking it now so fingers crossed it turns out ok!
