Slowing down, preparing for change – Brown sugar apple crisp with rum-soaked currants
Being in the kitchen can be a great way to deal with everything else going on in your life. Need some excitement in your life? Douse something with brandy and set it on fire. Need to get out your aggression? Smash some candies for peppermint bark. Feeling disconnected or homesick? Chocolate chip cookies.
Having trouble focusing? Peel some apples. Need to slow down a bit? Soak some currants in rum for at least a day. Feeling a little frantic? Bake them together, slowly, with crunchy bits of brown sugar crumble on top. Serve it warm, with a rather large dollop of softly whipped vanilla cream.
