INGREDIENTS

2	oz	Butter
2	oz	Caster sugar
2	oz	Glace' cherries finely chopped
3	oz	Hazelnuts; finely chopped
1	oz	Mixed peel; finely chopped
2	ts	Lemon juice
4	oz	Chocolate (half plain & half white)

INSTRUCTIONS

Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the sugar and bring to the boil,
stirring all the time.  Remove from the heat and stir in the cherries,
hazelnuts, peel and lemon juice. Allow to cool slightly while you line two
baking sheets with nonstick paper.
Set the oven to 180 C/350 F/ Gas Mark 4.
Put little heaps of the mixture, about the size of a hazelnut, on the
sheets, leaving room for them to spread. Bake for 5-6 minutes, until they
are a light golden brown. Push the edges in with a knife to neaten, then
leave them to cool on the paper.
Melt the chocolate in two separate bowls set over saucepans of simmering
water, or in a microwave for 3-4 minutes, then spread over the smooth side
of the florentines. Just before the chocolate sets, make wavy lines with a
fork.  Leave to cool completely.

A Message from our Provider:

“The real God: don’t settle for substitutes”

A zealous man in religion is pre-eminently a man of one thing. It is not enough to say that he is earnest, hearty, uncompromising, wholehearted, fervent in spirit. He only sees one thing, he cares for one thing, he lives for one thing, he is swallowed up in one thing; and that one thing is to please God. Whether he lives, or whether he dies, whether he has health, or whether he has sickness, whether he is rich, or whether he is poor, whether he pleases man, or whether he gives offense, whether he is thought wise, or whether he is thought foolish, whether he gets blame, or whether he gets praise, whether he gets honor, or whether he gets shame, for all this the zealous man cares nothing at all. He burns for one thing; and that one thing is to please God, and to advance God’s glory. If he is consumed in the very burning, he cares not for it; he is content. He feels that, like a lamp, he is made to burn; and if consumed in burning, he has but done the work for which God appointed him.
