Todays cook is Brisket! But not a whole brisket as we are going to do that with Neighbours. Half a brisket in slow cooker with a home made BBQ sauce.
I'm not a traditional BBQ sauce fan but made from scratch, It's quite ok.
My work area is next to kitchen so I smell the goodness all day. Smells great in here at the moment.
Best part is, it took 20 mins to get ready (Sauce ingredients and browning off the meat) and I don't need to do anything else. It just does it own thing. Cooking at its simplest.

What style are you doing? I usually make a tomato based sauce, but others go nuts with vinegar bases.
Love me some good bbq sauce.
I also made some chili oil to start the lockdown. We have a literal 'panic button' (bell) that the kids get out when I eat it; if it gets too hot, I push the panic button

THe recipe I used, came with the brisket and is as follows
2 Onions, finely chopped
2 Tbsp Mustard or mustard powder (Says American mustard but I used Dijon)
2 Cups tomato sauce (I used half Passata sauce and half Tomato sauce)
2 cups warm water
1 cup Brown sugar
1 cup white vinegar
2 tsp smoked paprika
3 Tbsp Salt (Not teaspoon as I read the first time)
8 crushed garlic cloves.Mix together and get amongst. So much you can do to make it different and personalised though.

I wing it with my BBQ sauce, and this might seem a little odd, but it also has pre-made BBQ sauce in it. I think the recipe I originally derived this from was from a Monteiths cook book! Quantities? All to taste as everyone has their own preference re sweetnees, heat etc but some rough measures included
BBQ sauce - half cup
Tomato sauce - one cup
Apple cider vinegar - half cup
Brown sugar - two tablespoons
Cayenne pepper - 1 teaspoon
White pepper - 1 teaspoon
Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
Ground celery - 1 teaspoon
Salt - 1 teaspoon
Finely chopped onion - 1 medium sizedFinely diced onion goes into a pot on medium heat with a little canola oil to sweat down, then add spices and after 30 seconds or so add all the liquid ingredients and sugar. Simmer for 20 minutes. Blend and allow to cool.

@Hooroo stick with what works. BBQ looks amazing.
We're having a 'halfway' party today. Croissants (done), charcoal chicken and then a cake, and then may watch a bit of Midway to keep the dad jokes moving.
All by lunchtime? Well done.

Superb!! They look amazing. I can't bake for toffee so don't even bother trying.
Did you make those from scratch? I'm impressed!

BTW it isn't me posting pictures of buttery, glazed croissants or slow cooked shoulders.
I have been eating quite healthily (so far). Snacks to a minimum. Basing meals around whatever fresh veg needs eating up so as not to waste anything... got to make up for the extra beer consumption some how.
There was one piggy item produced the other day, more as an experiment on technique but it was bloody nice. Will move over to the food thread with the recipe....
to continue this without thread diverging too much.
Was clearing through some stuff and found a receipt for a meal about a year ago in Cornwall. I'm not often a dessert eater but was talked into having a 'Lemon Posset' which was delicious. Have always meant to check how it is made as it is basically a very silky, set mixture of lemon juice and cream with no stabiliser like flour or gelatine.
I thought it may be quite tricky due to the mixture of cream and acid but was surprisingly easy and looked in no danger of curdling.Now for the heart attack in a small package - this will only make two small desserts
300ml double cream (I used Lewis Road)
90g Caster Sugar
100ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
Zest of one lemonIn one pot bring cream and zest slowly to the boil - careful as it will boil over easily
At the same time heat lemon juice and sugar together to dissolve sugar completely. Just a simple syrup, don't overheat.
Add one to the other and hold just above simmer for a few minutes (probably depends on pot size/surface area) to reduce by about a quarter.
Pour through fine sieve into jug to remove zest then pour into serving containers - they only need to be about 150-175 ml so a small ramekin, glass, jar or teacup will work.
Leave aside to cool before covering and putting in fridge to set.
Berries on top (Blueberries go nice)So kind of like very sweet and lemony reduced cream.
