Low Carb Christmas Recipes

Loved the bowl. Would have been nice tonight to serve my cheese and pickled onion snack. Not sure it was the best thing to have this late but I was feeling a bit hungry after my ghost walk.

Still spooky

Marmite?

I did wonder about marmite, but thought it might be too overpowering... Will have to run some taste tests when I get home...

TOP TIP

Don't spend ages fruitlessly looking for Christmassy cupcake cases

Buy the normal ones in Aldi. Five beautiful colours including 20 red and 20 green.

Very festive and only 99p for 100. Bargain!

I tried making this today using Truvia. It tasted very chemically, so I added some orange zest and cinnamon to disguise the Truvia. Ended up tasting medicinal lol :***:

Fantastic texture, very jammy. I just couldn't get the taste right Pleas let me know if anyone masters it.

What a pity!
(I HATE that chemical sweetener tang )
If I make it, I'll be using erythritol, so will let you know...

Im trying brandy soaked cherries in chocolate. I've got the cherries soaking now. Figured it'd be pretty low carb. And yummy!

They look yummy. I might be inclined to tweak the topping... I like very finely chopped red onion, red chilli, tomato, tsp mint sauce, lime juice and a bit of chopped coriander.

How about leave out the Truvia? Keep the cranberries and water, add some flaked almonds, a splash of vanilla essence and a sachet of Hartley's lemon and lime jelly. When cool, stir well before serving.
I can't say I've mastered this, in fact I haven't even tried it, I've just invented it. I will practise it this weekend and report back.

In your mind, are you adding the powdered jelly crystals to the mix or making up the jelly then adding it? I have a sachet of robinsons sugar free veggie lemon jelly so will give this a whirl. Thank you

Stop reading my mind! Exactly what I was thinking. You can't make salsa without lime and chilli I reckon. Going to try these tonight

Update - I've just bought some fresh cranberries and realised that I have lots of orange jelly. Might use that instead instead of lemon. The sweetness of the orange might counteract the nippiness of the cranberries. Will try it tomorrow.

I think I will cook the cranberries with a minimum of water until popped, then add the jelly crystals already dissolved in about a half or a third of normal quantity of water - just because I find I have to stir it quite hard to get rid of lumps, and I won't want to mistreat the cranberries in the same way. Then I'll mix the two and leave to set. I'll give it a good stir then and do a taste test, and will add whole or flaked almonds and vanilla if I think there's any point. I could add cinnamon but I agree, as said above, that it might taste too medicinal, like Beecham's Powders, so I might not run that particular risk.
I reckon lemon or orange jelly would be just as nice as lemon&lime.
