Over on Tots 100 website they have teamed up with Clover and are running a fantastic competition to win £500 in supermarket vouchers. How amazing would this prize be!?! My 2 oldest sons will be home from Uni then and it would be unbelievable. Just before Christmas too. You can read all about the competition and enter it yourself here:
Today I am sharing my #NothingArtificial recipe with you and this is my entry into the competition. I have gone for a sweet treat. Most packaged up cakes you buy in the supermarket has something artificial in them to keep them fresh for longer. It amazes me how you can sometimes pick a box of muffins up and they have a sell buy date of 3 months on them. How fresh are these? Also brought a flapjack that had a years best before date of a year. Home made cakes and treats are much better for you.
Over the weekend I made this amazingly yummy Sweet And Sour Satsuma and kiwi Pie. The sweet is in the biscuit base and dark caramel filling and the sour is in the kiwi and lemon juice, they work great all together! Good thing about this recipe is you make it in 3 different stages as you need to wait for the base to set and caramel to cool before adding the cream. So if your short on time, you can make it throughout the day.

- Melt the butter and sugar in a saucepan over a low heat keep stirring until the sugar has all dissolved.
- Add the condensed milk and gently bring to boil, keep stiring so not to burn. Once reached boil stir and simmer for about 3 minutes stiring all the time.
- Remove from the heat and stir until slightly cooled.
- Spoon the mixture over the biscuit base.
- Leave to cool completely then pop into a fridge to set completely.
Cream and fruit topping:
- Once set and ready to serve peel the satsumas and break into segments, place in a bowl with the peeled and chopped kiwi. Squeeze the lemon all over the fruit to coat it all well. Mix the fruit around the lemon jucie and leave until the cream has been added.
- Whip the cream until thick and creamy and place onto the pies.
