FROZEN FESTIVE VODKA OR TEQUILA BOTTLES WITH HERBS AND BERRIES
Another GREAT Jamie Oliver recipe, and one that I am preparing for New Year's Eve! Jamie says you can use any spirits or liquor, but he suggestes vodka and tequila in his recipe. These bottles look SO festive and pretty, I plan to use holly, berries, bay leaves, fruit slices, ivy and woody herbs for my bottles this year. DO check that the liquor bottle fits INSIDE the plastic water bottle first! This recipe idea for serving liquor originates from Scandinavia. (Prep time is for freezing the bottles.)

Steps:
- Cut the top off a 1 litre plastic bottle, pop a 700ml bottle of vodka, tequila or whatever you fancy in there. Fill inside the plastic bottle with water then shove leaves, sprigs of herbs, holly branches and berries, and sliced fruits all around the side. Stand this carefully in the freezer and leave it for a few hours so everything freezes around the bottle.
- When you're ready to serve it, simply run the sleeve quickly under a tap then slide it off. You'll have a perfect ice wrap around the bottle to keep it cold for the night - and look gorgeous!
ALL FRUIT POPSICLES (MELONS AND BERRIES)
My toddler begs for popsicles and I only buy him the all fruit kind which were still loaded with sugar AND they break the bank!!!! For that reason, started playing around with different fruits and making my own popsicles. . .that way they were much cheaper and I knew they were truly fruit only. This is my son's current favorite. Hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- Place all fruit in a blender and process until smooth (I like to leave a few small chunks).
- Spoon the fruit mixture into popsicle cups, add the stick and freeze. (I use the Tupperware version circa 1975. . .sad but true).

Steps:
- Break broccoli and cauliflower into small pieces and boil in salted water for ~6minutes to cook them through.
- Slice 7 cloves of garlic & dice 4 hot chili peppers.
- On medium heat in a frying pan, add 3 tbps of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add sliced garlic to pan to saute. Add thyme leaves, diced chili peppers and 3 anchovies.
- Drain broccoli & cauliflower. Once garlic has begun to turn golden add broccoli and cauliflower to the pan. Stir all ingredients and cook for about 15 minutes until the broccoli and cauliflower has broken down. Assist the process by occasionally breaking it down with a wooden spoon.
- Take the pan off of heat to cool down.
- Prepare the béchamel sauce: grate 1.5-2.5 cups of good parmesean into the crème fraiche. Add a pinch of pepper. Set aside for assembly of cannelloni shells.
- Once the broccoli & cauliflower have cooled down, you need to mash them up together. You can do this a few ways, but the easiest is to bring out a hand blender and quickly give it a whiz or use a food processor until smooth. Once this is done (and it's cool enough!), scoop filling into a piping bag. (Here you can actually use a plastic bag and cut a corner if you don't have a proper piping bag - it works just as well.).
- Prep pan for cannelloni shells: in a large baking tray (large enough for 24 cannelloni shells), put 1/2 centimeter of tomato sauce on the bottom with a pinch of salt and 2 tbsp red wine vinegar.
- Squeeze filling (via the piping bag) into each of the shells. Place in the pan once filled.
- On top of the cannelloni shells, place basil leaves - as many as you'd like.
- Top shells & basil with Béchamel Sauce & season with more black pepper.
- Top with slices of mozzerella and remaining parmesean cheese.
- Bake at 190C for 30-40 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.
