food recipe

When asked for her favourite dessert recipe, President's Choice executive chef, Dana Speers pointed to a traditional British treat with a classic Canadian touch.

“I love this recipe because it brings

together two of my favourite

COMFORT-FOOD CUISINES.”

DANA SPEERS, President's Choice Executive Chef

Directions

01 Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease 13" x 9" (3 L) glass baking dish with 2 tbsp (25 ml) butter.

02 Discard end slices of loaf. Spread 1/2 cup (125 ml) butter evenly over one side of each bread

slice. Arrange six of the bread slices, buttered side up, in a single layer on the bottom of prepared dish. Cut a seventh slice in half and wedge in among other slices to fill the bottom of the dish; sprinkle half of the apricots evenly over the top. Repeat with remaining seven bread slices and apricots for a second layer; set aside.

03 Combine milk, cream and salt in a large saucepan. Using the tip of a sharp knife, scrape vanilla seeds

into pan; add seedless vanilla bean pods. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Once boiling, remove from heat. Whisk together eggs and sugar in large bowl for about 1 minute or until pale yellow. Gradually whisk in 1 cup (250 ml) of the hot milk mixture until combined. Slowly whisk in remaining milk mixture until fully com-bined. Pour custard through fine sieve into large bowl; discard vanilla bean pods.

04 Pour strained custard over the top of the bread. Using a spatula, gently press down on bread slices

so they soak up custard. Place dish in a large roasting pan; add enough warm water to pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish.

05 Bake in centre of oven for 40 to 45 minutes, pressing bread down gently with spatula at half-

way point, or until puffed and set around edges with a slight jiggle in centre. Transfer pudding in water bath to rack to cool.

06 Meanwhile, heat jam with 2 tbsp (25 ml) water in small saucepan over low heat for 3 minutes,

stirring occasionally, or until liquefied. Carefully remove pudding from water bath; brush surface with warmed jam. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Sordi supplies some additional tips from the pros:GREAT YARDS BEGIN IN THE SPRING, NOT THE SUMMER.Start the spring-cleaning when the snow has melted and the soil has dried up a bit. Remove layers of leaves that can lead to the grass moulding or decaying by using a leaf blower or a rake. However, don't rake the lawn until it has started to grow.

WOULD YOU BUY IT?Walk around your entire home's exterior with a critical eye. Take notes on what needs repairing, replacing or cleaning.

“A big percentage of

home buyers decide

whether or not to look

inside a house based on

what it looks like from

the outside,” says Michelle Sordi at Husqvarna,

a world leader in outdoor power products.

ADD COLOUR.Replace overgrown bushes with leafy plants and colourful annuals. Surround bushes and trees with dark or reddish-brown bark mulch; this will give a rich feel to the yard. Potted plants are another way to add a splash of colour and can be taken with you when you move.

MOW THE LAWN.Remember not to cut the grass too short. With a grass level of 5 to 9 cm you will have a fine, sustainable lawn. m

Proper maintenance

and investing in the right

tools will make sure your

house and lawn looks

great at first glance and

demonstrates to potential

buyers how much you

care for your home,”adds Michelle Sordi.

TRIM THE HEDGES.The way to get a good-looking hedge always starts with the right tool. With an ergonomically balanced and lightweight hedge trimmer, creating clean cuts and a smooth line will be easy.

GET OUT OF THE WEEDS.Get rid of any weeds as early as possible. Also be sure to cut away withered leaves and grass from cultivated parts of the garden bed.

SHAPE AND EDGE YOUR LAWN.If you want your lawn to look really great, don't forget to trim the edges.

BRIGHT IDEA.Landscape lighting makes a huge impact on your home's curb appeal while also providing safety and security. It isn't unusual for potential buyers to drive by homes in the evening and lighting can provide an attractive view of your house at night.

More lawn tips and information about tool options for proper

maintenance can be found online at www.husqvarna.ca. THN
