A slice of Paradise
Treasured
family recipes are always the best and the recipe for Paradise Slices from Jenny
in Chesterfield is no exception. She writes to say that my talk at her Social
History group about Grandma Abson inspired her to look out an old exercise book of
her mum’s and bake a few recipes. She says that she used to bake Paradise
Slices with her 3 children when they were little as they were so easy.
4oz/110g chocolate
4oz/110g coconut
2oz/50g raisins
2oz/50g sugar
1oz/25g chopped dates
1 egg
Pre
heat the oven to 180C/350F/Mark 4. Grease and line a 7inch/18cms square tin.
Melt the chocolate and pour into the tin. Mix all the other ingredients
together and spread over the chocolate. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Meryl says: This
recipe is a great one to bake with children as Jenny suggests. Who will be
licking the bowl out for the last of the chocolate?
