Sarah and I would like to wish all the Mothers everywhere a “Happy Mothers Day” for yesterday. We had a most enjoyable day, celebrating with all the Mothers in our family.
My favourite part of our Mothers Day tradition is receiving some home made gifts/cards from the children. Sarah made me some lovely goodies that she will show on her next post. In turn, I always like to include some home made goodies with my present to my Mum. This year, I decorated some tea towels and made a matching pot holder.
I love to wrap gifts in brown paper and string!
I took some yummy Passionfruit Slice to our celebration.
Passionfruit Slice
Base
125 butter
½ cup sugar
1 egg
1 ½ cups self raising flour
Topping
400g condensed milk
225 g can reduced cream
½ cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons custard powder
1 cup sugar
2 cups water
3 passionfruit
To make base, cream butter and sugar, add egg, fold in flour, and press mixture into a lamington pan. Bake until golden brown in a moderate oven – approx 30 minutes. Allow to cool.
To make topping, combine condensed milk, reduced cream, and lemon juice. Spread over base. Blend custard powder, sugar, and water in a saucepan, and boil until thickened, stirring constantly. Add passionfruit pulp, pour over filling, and chill.

Sounds like you had a lovely day.
Can’t wait to see what Sarah spoiled you with.
Your Mum’s presents are lovely.
That looks wonderful!
As I was scrolling down your post I spotted the passionfruit slices and thought “mmm…but I so hope there isn’t a recipe” and lo, something else irresistable to burn off at the gym!
(thank you!)
yummy-what a nice recipe-will have to try this!Thanks for sharing cheers teri
everything looks so beautiful especially the slice!! and Sarah’s last post is amazing, she is so talented for such a young person!! incredible
Looks like it was a very sweet day all around–so glad! That towel and pot holder set is lovely–like the pink-brown-white for the kitchen. Brown paper is my favorite gift wrap too! :o) Always the best wrap and so many possibilities to jazz it up–like you’ve done here. That cake slice is calling my name…We had hubby’s family over the weekend and I made cheesecake after Nigella Lawson’s recipe–sooo good! But I shouldn’t have anymore cake now–LOL! Happy week to you all :o) ((HUGS))
WOW! That potholder just made me drool. It’s incredible. I think a lot of your talent lies not only in your actual sewing skills, but in your ability to pick gorgeous colours, patterns and styles. You two should start a homewares range!
Such a yummy looking recipe. Passionfruit is very hard to find here. Guess I will have to snoop around at the specialty grocery stores and hope for the best.
Very lovely gifts and special wrappings. I’m sure your mom loved them. I sent my mother’s handmade goodies this year too. Passionfruit isn’t readily available in my part of the US but oh they look delicious.
oh how gorgeous…
love the matching set…
great colour choice…
glad to hear you mothers day was full of sweet stuff…yum love the slice…
I love the towels and pot holder you made for your mother. And your wrapping is a present again.
Wow, your cake looks delicious too! I look forward to see what Sarah made (O:
What nice gifts! I love the towel and potholder – my favorite fabric in the patchwork! I love your wrapping too. That dessert looks so delicious.

Your presents look beautiful.. almost too good to unwrap. And as for that slice… I think it is a “you can’t just have one piece” slice! Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks Lisa I just chipped my tooth on the screen trying to eat that slice.

The gifts are beautiful and I am sure your Mom loved them.

Our Mothers Day is a week before yours – the first Sunday of May. And it happens only few years ago.Can’t understand why is different from all other countries even in Europe…
Before Mothers Day was on 8th December – the day of Our Lady of Conception(?) a religious holiday.
For me (as I’m already an old woman :)) Mothers Day has lost something with the change…
Happy belated Mother’s Day to you. The gifts you created for you Mom are so pretty… and I love how even the wrapping paper matches! That passionfruit slice looks dangerously good.
