Oven-Baked Stewed Fruit: A Simple, Flavorful Recipe for Breakfast
Here is a recipe I’m making today for stewed fruit, for example. Most people actually ‘stew’ it in a container on top of the stove, so the heat comes from below. This makes the result a bit sloppy. It looks pre-digested. The fruit loses its structure. My recipe is ‘in the oven’. I learnt this a long time ago from an old shearer’s cook. Here ’tis: INGREDIENTS: Start with SEASONAL fruits. For example…in Autumn try 450g Pears 400g Apples 300g Rhubarb 300g Sugar 80ml Water EQUIPMENT: 1x Oven-proof dish (mine’s oval) approx. 27x20x5cm deep.

Hook, Line and Sinker Repowers with Mercury
For Andrew Hart of Hook, Line and Sinker, dependability and power are critical, which is why he made the switch to Mercury outboards. The change was driven by a desire for greater power and performance. Andrew and his team, based in Tasmania, visited their local dealer, CJ Marine, to repower their boat, and the results were immediately noticeable.

He also praised the engines for their torque, which was particularly evident during testing in rough conditions along the east coast. The additional torque allowed the boat to maintain a plane at slower speeds, something Andrew hadn’t experienced with previous motors. The decision to switch to Mercury was straightforward for Andrew, given the company’s commitment to product reliability and innovation. He…
