ENGLISH PROVENDER COMPANY PROMOTES PRODUCTS FOR MOTHER’S DAY
The company says “Mother’s Day, which falls this year on March 14th, is when all mothers everywhere should sit back, relax and let the rest of the household take the strain.
And you can’t give your mum a better treat than by offering to cook the Sunday lunch.
A traditional roast is a good start – but it’s the finishing touches that make all the difference. The English Provender Company choose only the finest ingredients for their wide range of condiments, so whichever type of roast you cook you’ll have the perfect partner to serve with it… and a very impressed mother!
Everyone knows that lamb and mint sauce is a match made in heaven, but English Provender has gone the extra mile with their delicious English Mint Sauce.
Made with freshly picked mint, steeped in the subtle flavour of balsamic vinegar, its aromatic flavour doesn’t overpower delicate roast lamb. Other quintessentially English condiments include a dab of English Provender Hot Horseradish on slices of rare roast beef or pair succulent pork and crackling with lashings of Apple Sauce with Scrumpy.
To follow, make mum a beautiful cake for tea – a home-made cake really shows you care. Try filling a classic Victoria sponge with a generous layer of English Provender Luxury Lemon Curd and fresh whipped cream for a very happy Mother’s Day.
Find English Provender condiments in supermarkets, Lemon Curd is available via Lakelands and all products online www.englishprovender.com

St Clements Cake
Serves: 8
Takes 20 minutes prep and 25 minutes cooking time
300g pack full fat cream cheese
125g/4oz icing sugar, sifted
175g/6oz unsalted butter or margarine, softened
175g/6oz caster sugar
4 tsp Very Lazy Ginger Paste
finely grated rind and juice of 2 lemons
3 medium eggs, beaten
175g/6oz self raising flour
4 tbsp English Provender Luxury Lemon Curd
1. Beat the cream cheese and icing sugar together until smooth. Add enough lemon juice (about 2 tablespoons) to get a good spreading consistency. Chill until ready to use.
2. Preheat the oven to 180⁰C/fan oven 160⁰C/Gas Mark 4. Lightly grease and base line with greaseproof paper two 18cm/7inch sandwich tins.
3. Cream the butter, sugar, ginger paste and lemon rind together in a large bowl until pale and well combined. Gradually beat in the eggs adding a little flour after each addition if the mixture starts to curdle. Sift any remaining flour over the mixture and fold in with a large metal spoon.
4. Divide the mixture between the tins and level the surface with the back of a spoon. Bake for 20-25 minutes until risen golden and firm to the touch. Allow to cool in the tins for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
5. Peel the paper off the backs of the sponges. Spread half the cream cheese mixture over the tops of each sponge right up to the edges. Drop spoonfuls of the lemon curd randomly over the cream cheese mixture ¬ then using a skewer or teaspoon pull through the lemon curd to create a swirled effect. Sandwich the cakes together and lift onto a serving plate. Decorate with fresh flowers or grated orange, lime and lemon zest.
