For followers of blogevents the announcement of Sugar High Friday is always a delight. For the month of January though there is a slight change for My good pal Sam of Becks and Posh has announced it to be SUGAR LOW FRIDAY! After all the seasonal excess this might just what we all need - although I personally have a stack of mincepies and brandy cream still to get through!

Sam is handling this months event and writes "Your task, therefore, for this month's Sugar High Friday, is to make a delicious, mouthwatering dessert whilst being a lot more frugal than usual with the fat and the sugar. In fact, try not to use processed sugar at all. I'm not going to make any strict rules, I'll leave it to each individual's imagination. As a guideline, I would suggest you try and find your sweetness in more natural, unprocessed products like honey, fruits or maple syrup, but in the end, its up to you to decide how to meet this challenge."

I am sure the team here at Slashfood will come-up with some interesting delights. I'm thinking fruit, nuts, juices, honey... Sadly I don't think my Puff Pastry Tart as pictured will make the grade; far too much cream... but remove that and it might just be ok!
