Breakfast at Fayme's in the Kitchen; Fig Jelly

Go to the market this weekend and get some of the last figs to make yourself fig jelly and have a wonderful brunch. Get figs that are deep, dark purple color, soft and plump and almost bursting open. Figs are beautiful fruits that just scream fall to me.  

Enjoy on toasted bread with cheese or even with waffles!

What you need;
-Ripe figs
-Gelatine sugar (to make jellies)
-Balsamic vinegar (optional)
-Onions (optional, for a more savory bite)

1. Cut the figs (and onions) in little chunks and put them in a sauce pan.
2. Add sugar and balsamic vinegar and bring to a boil for about 1 to 5 minutes

3. In the mean time sterilize some jars by washing it thoroughly with soap and hot water, dry them well then add some alcohol to sterilize, give it a shake, then pour the alcohol out (!)

4. Pour in the jelly and let is sit till its cooled off. 

Note; If you would like to store them for a while it is important to seal the jar; after pouring in the hot jelly, stretch some cling plastic tightly over the jar, then close it with the lid.

Et Voila! Bon Appétit!

Lunch time; Tomato Chutney Crostini

 Whats for lunch this weekend?

how about some home-made tomato chutney (from my aunties kitchen with custom made labels from this website "here"), My new favorite cheese, Old Amsterdam and some avocado. The ripe saltiness of the cheese and that soft buttery taste of the avocado go very well with the kick of the tomato chutney. Perfect for this weekend's brunch.

Happy Weekend!

Weekend Delights; Outfit, Flowers and Lunch ideas

One of my favorite pass times should be roaming the market, getting inspired by all sorts of things, getting some fresh goodies and flowers. That's exactly what I did the other day. 

*Why not arrange your flowers in one of these (hermetic) jars instead of a regular vase.

Crostini Lunch;

Use rustic bread, that is bread that is a bit dense and chewy. With a baking brush, brush on some olive oil and toast in over for a few minutes.

Crostini 1. Soft goat cheese with nuts and honey, from the oven.

Crostini 2. Raspberry jam (or any other tangy jam), Parma ham and topped with arugula salad.

Crostini 3. With home made chunky guacamole. (Chop avocado, red onion, tomatoes add some lime/lemon juice salt and pepper)
