This is all very exciting! It’s SNACKALICIOUS SUPER DISHES

crowd-pleasing recipes carnival over at Pensieve, who has teamed up with

Rebecca Writes’ Recipe Round-up for January!

So here is my tuppence-worth; it’s a rather delicious main course which could be served alongside another dish with some rice and salad. (HT to Mrs. B from long ago!) Also, an easy-peasy yummy Lime Pie for pudding.

Mrs B’s Pork and Apricot Casserole

1 lb Pork Pieces (use a fillet)
Oil
2 tablespoons flour (seasoned)
1 can apricots and juice
2 tablespoons Worcester Sauce
2 tablespoons demerara sugar
2 tablespoons vinegar (the malt or dark variety)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
8 tablespoons water

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Method:-

Toss pork in flour and fry off in oil. Place in casserole dish or slow cooker (crock pot)
Add other ingredients, including the juice from the apricots but do not add apricots at this stage.
If using a casserole, bring to the boil and allow to simmer until meat is tender.
If using a slow cooker allow to cook for 2-3 hours until meat is tender.

15-20 mins before serving add apricots

I have always wondered what Lime Pie is. Is this like the Key Lime pie I have read about? My lime tree has almost rip fruit on it, and I will definitely try this with the ones that are left over from my gin and tonics!

er – that would be ripe, not rip fruit….

I couldn’t find gingernut cookies, but I did find some yummy looking fancy, schmancy ginger wafers. A 6 oz. package. Do you think that would work?

There were also some rectangular wafer thin brown cookies with nuts in them that I almost bought. I forget what they were called. But though they had ginger in them they weren’t called “ginger” they were called almond thin wafers or something like that.

Maybe if you posted a picture of the biscuit? (cookie, right?)

We used to use ginger snaps or vanilla wafers for this pie, but otherbear, it is only keylime pie if you use “keylimes” which are a small tart little lime named after the Florida Keys. The flavor is a little different from regular limes. I love this pie because its so simple but impressive.

The pork recipe is killing me…I’m so hungry!! This sounds delicious!!

Kim – I don’t think wafers would work…as they might disintegrate… (do you mean wafers that you would put with ice-cream?)
The idea is that the biscuits or cookies will form a base. It’s almost like a cheesecake… so I think perhaps a heavier cookie flavoured with ginger would do the trick.
Oh and I think maybe Graham Crackers would work too. (They are similar to our digestive biscuits)

Well, I can now see that my recipe book will be overflowing after this month. I have never made Key lime pie this way…I’m a cheater who uses cool whip and frozen concetrate, but only because I didn’t know how – thanks. My husband will love you for it! Key lime is his absolute favorite pie in the history of the universe.

OOooo, Naomi…I have a pork and apricot recipe, but it’s VERY different from this one. The combination of fruit and meat is delicious, so I’m SURE this would be very appealing to me (as well as our family).

And you added dessert? What a nice finish topping it with CHOCOLATE!

My sweet tooth is getting twitchy ;).

Thanks for joining in this month and helping to spread the word. I’m having a bit too much fun!
