I'd best not tell you about my Rose hip syrup candied apple rings then, DOH View attachment 1327

Zigs, yer a man after my own heart.
I like to make pickles and chutneys, wine and the like, and preserves, as well as the obvious Grow-yer-own.
Traditional treats and scarce savouries.
Stuff the supermarket just wouldn't know how to deal with.

Can't recall seeing them on sale in Tesco

Bet you like Parsnip Crisps as well

I do indeed, but I no longer have the sleek, gazelle-like figure I once did, so treats like that have to be rationed.

Zigs that all looks brilliant And that's great news about the viewings!

 

[zigs]

OMG!!!! I am definitely going to see about coming to your house. Those look absolutely delish. I want some.

I've sussed out how to make Honeycomb too

I love honeycomb too. I need to make that trip to your house soon zigs.

Found that it needs covering in Chocolate, otherwise is absorbs the moisture from the air and goes sticky.

Never get above a full saunter these days.

You said the magic word. CHOCOLATE. I love chocolate and combined with honeycomb. Heaven.

Do you have these in America?

I'd better not mention Toffee Apples then

 

[Annetteb]

We don't have those here . It's a shame I bet those crunchies taste good too. But we do have toffee apples in the stores. I love buying those. They are so good.

Chocolate covered honeycomb is one of my absolute favourite things. I get cravings for Crunchies, they are DIVINE!

@zigs - I took a look at cider presses the other day - they are a lot more expensive than I thought! Sounds like a good investment though.

I wish we had those here . I would love to have some. I guess I will just have to be satisfied with apple cider. A friend at work made me some hot homemade apple cider a couple of days ago and it was delicious.
