How To Create A simple Valentine's Vignette...
On a sideboard, Dining table or side table, this vignette is very simple to create.
I used a ceramic double vase, but you could swap that for a tall white jug for the heart branches, and a matching white shorter style vase for the roses.
The bonus is they were already painted and dotted with spots ready to use.
I used these small hearts
from http://www.firstpalette.com/tool_box/printables/heart.html
But they have a range of different hearts to choose from.
Use the hearts as a stencil to cut of some pretty papers.
Or print directly onto A4 size coloured paper.
Use as many hearts as you desire...
I used 32 hearts on my branches.
Punch a small hole in the top of each heart...
and string with ribbon.
Passionfruit & Pistachio Slice...
I know I say it all the time but...
this slice is DELICIOUS!
(But that could be because I LOVE passionfruit!)
(But that could be because I LOVE passionfruit!)
It's an unbaked slice...
It has pistachios and biscuit crumbs in it...
Combine those flavours with sweetened condensed milk
and passionfruit...
(I have adapted this to use passionfruit topping but the original recipe uses fresh passionfruit.)
(I have adapted this to use passionfruit topping but the original recipe uses fresh passionfruit.)
And you have 'eat it straight from the bowl' deliciousness.
But if you are well-behaved, you will press the mixture in a slice pan,
and ice the top with creamy passionfruit icing.
Then wait an hour or so, before you slice it into little squares.
This Passionfruit & Pistachio Slice will be devoured with glee...
It is moist and moreish!
I'm sure this recipe is one straight from Grandma's handwritten cookbook.
I like to imagine that it is.
