Warming Bonfire Night recipes
Sweet chilli bangers
An easy way to turn sausages into something special. Use the sweet, sticky sauce to marinate chicken
drumsticks, too.
Ingredients
12 large meaty pork sausages
4 tbsp tomato ketchup
2 tbsp clear honey
2 tsp mild chilli powder
2 garlic cloves, crushed
½ tsp dried oregano (or 2 tsp fresh)
Method
Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Arrange the sausages in a roasting tin in a single layer and bake for 10 mins.
Meanwhile, mix together all the other ingredients with seasoning and 1 tbsp water.
Pour the ketchup mixture over the sausages and mix well. Bake for 30 mins more until the sausages are golden.
Oven roasted pumpkin seeds
If you’ve been carving or using fresh pumpkin or squash in a recipe, don't discard the seeds- Roast them for a
delicious and healthy snack.
Ingredients
Serves: 4
150g (5 oz) pumpkin or squash seeds
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Method
Prep: 10min › Cook:15min › Ready in:25min
Preheat the oven to 140 C / Gas mark 1. Line a baking tray with baking paper or foil.
After removing the seeds from the pumpkin, rinse with water, and remove any strings and bits of flesh. Pat dry
and place in a small bowl. Drizzle the olive oil and salt over the seeds and toss in bowl until evenly coated.
Spread out in an even layer on the prepared baking tray.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until seeds start to pop. Remove from oven and cool on the baking tray before serving.
Toffee apple bread & butter pudding
This classic with a Bonfire twist makes for a delicious dessert that your family won't be able to resist.
Ingredients:
3 red dessert apples
Juice of ½ lemon
4 tbsp golden caster sugar
397g can caramel (Carnation is good)
6 brioche finger rolls, sliced into rounds
3 eggs
400ml full-fat milk (continued…)
200ml double cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Ice cream or natural Greek yoghurt, to serve (optional)
Method
Core the apples, then slice into rings about as thick as a £1 coin. Toss through the lemon juice and 2 tbsp sugar.
Spread about 2 /3 of the caramel over the base of a large baking dish (approx 20 x 30cm).
Layer the brioche and apple rings in the dish in overlapping lines. Dot spoonfuls of the leftover caramel here and
there, leaving bits of apple poking out. In a jug, whisk the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla extract and 1 tbsp sugar.
Pour the mixture over the brioche and apples, making sure it’s all well covered, then wrap in cling film. Set aside
for at least 30 mins, or overnight, in the fridge.
Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3. Uncover the pudding and scatter with the remaining 1 tbsp sugar. Bake for
45-50 mins until the top is golden and the custard has set. The caramel should be bubbling around the edges
and the pudding puffed up. Serve with vanilla ice cream or thick Greek yoghurt, if you like.

Bonfire safety Tips
If you are having a bonfire, whether it’s to get rid of garden waste or part of a celebration, please take care. Follow
the simple tips below to make sure you, and others, are safe.
Building a bonfire
Fire can spread easily, so where and how you build your bonfire is important. If
you have a bonfire, follow these simple guidelines:
warn your neighbours beforehand - they are much less likely to
complain
light the bonfire at a time least likely to affect your neighbours - for example, not on a warm day when
people will be in their garden
only burn dry material not damp, which causes more smoke
build the bonfire away from sheds, fences and trees
check there are no cables, like telephone wires, above the bonfire
don’t use petrol or paraffin to get the fire going as it may get out of control quickly
as a rule of thumb the bonfire should be a minimum of five times its height from property
Bonfire safety tips
Once the bonfire is lit, make sure you:
keep a bucket of water or a garden hose nearby in case of emergencies
don’t leave the bonfire unattended
keep children and pets away from the bonfire
don’t throw any fireworks into the fire
don't burn aerosols, tyres, canisters or anything containing foam or paint - many produce toxic fumes and
some containers may explode, causing injury
Once the bonfire has died down, spray the embers with water to stop it reigniting.
Getting rid of your garden waste without a bonfire
You can get rid of your garden waste without making a bonfire. Most garden waste, like grass cuttings and leaves,
can be recycled by composting.
