♺ recycle

each weekend I save my Sunday newspaper for

my friend Cheryll 

her children have guinea pigs and the

broader sheet papers are great for the hutch

I'm told!

in return she gives me her food magazines

we love looking at the recipes 

and tear out any that catch our eye

before passing on the magazines again!

how's that for moneys worth?

this cake looks and IS delicious

an unusual method, one we've not tried before

and we only had half the amount of blueberries

but it was still good

{the original recipe was in bbc good food mag}

orange & blueberry polenta loaf

you will need ....

100g polenta

140g unsalted butter, softened

140g caster sugar

200g self raising flour

half a teaspoon baking powder

1 large egg

200g blueberries

the zest and 2 tbsps of the juice from an orange

preheat the oven to 160c/gas 3

line a 2lb loaf tin with baking paper

put the polenta, sugar, butter, flour, baking powder

and orange zest into a food processor

and pulse until it looks like breadcrumbs

mix the egg and orange juice together

then add to the food processor

pulse until the dough comes together into a ball

place half the mixture in the loaf tin 

and cover with half the blueberries

cover the berries with the remaining dough

and scatter on the rest of the blueberries

bake for 1 hour to 1hour 10 minutes

until golden 

leave to cool in the tin for a while

before transferring onto a cooling rack

delicious for any time of day!
