The real toffee apples

A delicious treat for the kids, and one which they can help make too. Be extra careful with hot caramel and little fingers.

Makes 10

Here is what you need: 10 wooden skewers 10 small Granny Smith apples 500 g granulated sugar 1 cup water 5 ml vinegar 45 ml golden syrup 5 ml red food colouring Preparation Place a sheet of baking paper onto a baking tray. Insert a skewer into each apple, arrange the apples on the tray and set aside.

Here is what you do: To Make the toffee Place the sugar, water and vinegar into a saucepan over low heat and stir until all the sugar has dissolved.

Then add the syrup and bring to the boil. Boil until the mixture reaches 150 °C on the sugar thermometer (this is the temperature test to follow when making hard crack caramel).

If you don’t have a thermometer, test a little syrup by dropping a teaspoon of syrup into cold water. If it sets rock hard immediately it is ready. Remove from the heat and place the saucepan into a sink of cold water to cool the mixture. Once it has stopped bubbling, add the red food colouring and swirl around until fully incorporated.

Dipping the apples: Dip the apples into the toffee syrup and swirl around until they are fully coated. Remove from the syrup and place onto the baking paper. Set aside until completely cooled and the toffee has hardened.

Author’s tip: Wrap coloured twine or tie ribbon around the skewers and place the toffee apples on a wooden board. If you are using them for a party you can make little flags to glue onto the skewers with the child’s name written on them.

SWARTBORD-KERSFEESKRANS Kan jy dit glo: Kersfees is weer óp ons! En daar is báie dinge om reg te kry, en selfs méér om te onthou ... Nou gaan ons ’n raam maak wat jou met al die onthou sal help – nommerpas vir Kersfees, en baie prakties. En nou kan jy, omdat jy mos ’n stylvolle mens is, ál jou Kersfeesdinge stylvol onthou. Of jy kan bloot iets moois daarop skryf – dit is tog nie elke dag Kersfees nie!

Jy benodig: ● ’n Basis vir die swartbord-Kersfeeskrans. Ek gebruik sommer ’n stuk ou kartonplank (“hardboard”) ● Metaalkleurige verf met ’n “textured” basis ● Kouelym of Mod Podge™ en vernis met ’n waterbasis ● Blomraam (op karton gedruk) ● Verfkwas ● Skêr 1. Trek ’n ligte sirkel waar die twee kleure mekaar ontmoet – dit is daar waar jy die blomme gaan plak.

2. Verf die eerste laag. Jy kan énige verf of agtergrond gebruik. .

3. Wend die swartbordverf met ’n sponsroller aan.

Ongeveer drie lae sal voldoende wees en ’n mooi soliede dekking bied.

4. Rangskik die prente

sodat dit ’n mooi sirkel vorm. Knip dit uit ... en plak!

5. Wanneer die gom droog is, wend dan ’n lagie waterbasis-vernis oor die papierblom-krans aan om dit te beskerm.

LET OP! Verf versigtig rondom die blompatroon se randjies. Jy wíl nie vernis oor die swartbordverf hê nie, aangesien dit die swartbord-effek belemmer.

6. Nou kan jy die swartbord-Kerskrans ophang. Of dit op ’n rak sit.

Of dit neersit waar jy wil, en dit rondskuif soos en wanneer jy wil.

WHAT TO CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING A CAR FOR YOUR MATRIC It’s a dilemma facing every family with a child eager to get behind the wheel. Parents already own three-quarters of the vehicles they designate for kids. But a lot of these vehicles may not be appropriate for teens.

A third of the vehicles that kids drive are more than 10 years old; a quarter are sports cars or other small, zippy models.

When parents think about cars for teens, they rightly emphasize things like fuel economy and reliability. But they need to give top priority to the vehicle’s safety. Only about 20% of parents in a recent survey said safety was the most important factor when selecting a vehicle for a teen.

Guaranteed 40% buyback.

Teens crash cars four times more often than people 20 and over.

That’s partly why we give our kids junkers, so they can bend fenders that have relatively little value.

By going the cheap route, though, you could miss out on recent advances. Cars today are the safest we’ve ever seen. Accidents among 18-year-olds (the highestrisk drivers) fell 40 percent, due mostly to better vehicle design and safety features.
