Nothing says ‘comfort food’ like a steaming bowl of chicken soup in winter. This soup is light but hearty, and packed with traditional veggies and herbs.
Step 1:
Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
Step 2:
Add sultanas and chopped dates to a bowl and stir in the orange juice. Place to one side while you make your custard.
Step 3:
Whisk custard ingredients together in a heavy based saucepan over a low heat, continually stirring. Adjust sweetness to taste if desired.
Step 4:
Keep stirring until it thickens sufficiently to coat the back of a spoon. Do not boil it. It should not reach that heat.
Step 5:
When the custard coats the spoon, remove from heat and continue stirring until the saucepan cools enough to stop the cooking process. If you're pressed for time, you can transfer it to a cold bowl. You know you've over-cooked your custard it if it looks and tastes like sweet scrambled eggs.
Step 6:
Slice the bottom off your apple so it sits flat, and then fill the hole made by removing the core and seeds with your fruit mixture.
Step 7:
Bake for about 20 minutes or until soft enough to cut with a spoon.
Step 8:
Remove from oven, pour custard over the top and enjoy.
