Pear and blackberry sponge flan with elderflower, gin and tonic jelly

For Christmas, my mum gave me a sponge flan tin. This was my first go at testing it, and the results were lovely – really light, airy cake which I topped with fresh pear and blackberries and a jelly made with elderflower cordial, gin and tonic water.  You could use any fruit or jelly combination you like though.

Christmas panna cotta

This is my first attempt at making panna cotta - I've used a recipe by the Hairy Bikers which is so Christmassy I couldn't resist making it for Christmas dinner dessert to go with my summer fruit terrine.

Summer fruit terrine

OK, it's not summertime, but this is such a pretty looking dessert that I'm doing it for Christmas dinner.  It's a Delia Smith recipe, which means it's foolproof!
