by | Oct 9, 2017 | Blas |

Ayle Foods, owned by Pete and Lorraine Randall, and members of Tipperary Food Producers, won 6 awards at the Blas na hÉireann Food Awards last weekend. Regular traders at Cahir Farmers Market, Ayle Foods have told us that they are delighted to have won “Best In Farmers Market” for Tipperary, three years in a row, something Pete and Lorraine are very proud of. The next scoop for the Tipperary business was a Gold award for their Irish Whiskey Marmalade & a Silver award for Jamaican Rum Marmalade in their category. If the excitement wasn’t enough, the Ayle foods haul was about to get bigger. Over the course of the weekend, they went on to claim the Gold Award for their Carrot & Apple Juice (which also won Gold in 2015), Silver for their Cucumber Pickle, and finally the Bronze award for their Butterscotch & Brandy Sauce. All of these products are part of the Ayle Farm brand which the Randalls have worked very hard on. They would like to thank the Local Enterprise Office and Supervalu Ireland for their continued support through the Food Academy Programme. They have also had lots of encouragement from Supervalu’s Individual Store Owners and Store Managers. All of their products are made in small batches on their farm in Ayle, Oola, Co. Tipperary.  ...

Happy Pancake Tuesday

Why not try some of our delicious jam with your pancakes. Basic Pancake Recipe Ingredients Pancake Mixture: 100g plain flour Pinch of salt 1 egg 300 ml milk 1 tablsp. melted butter or sunflower oil To Cook Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl and make a well in the centre. Crack the egg into the well; add the melted butter or oil and half the milk. Gradually draw the flour into the liquid by stirring all the time with a wooden spoon until all the flour has been incorporated and then beat well to make a smooth batter. Stir in the remaining milk. Alternatively, beat all the ingredients together for 1 minute in a blender or food processor. Leave to stand for about 30 minutes, stir again before using. To make the pancakes, heat a small heavy-based frying until very hot and then turn the heat down to medium. Lightly grease with oil and then ladle in enough batter to coat the base of the pan thinly (about 2 tablsp.), tilting the pan so the mixture spreads evenly. Cook over a moderate heat for 1-2 minutes or until the batter looks dry on the top and begins to brown at the edges. Flip the pancake over with a palette knife or fish slice and cook the second side.   Recipe source- www.bordbia.ie...
