Sesame and Lime Macaroons

So I may have become a little obsessed with macaroons in the last wee while... 

These are sesame and lime ones, made for having with The Tea (post-family-dinner) on Easter Sunday.

As with the previous macaroons, these are made from a recipe from a book simply called Macaroons, from the Love Food series, I take no credit for the recipe!

The mix of sesame and lime was unusual and made me think of Asian flavours. Next time I make macaroons I'm going to experiment and come up with a recipe of my own, maybe with wasabi and something... These guys might make an interesting partner to a wasabi and chocolate maybe? Hmmm...

I think I'm going to have to do some make and do that doesn't involve macaroons next though! There seem to be quite a lot of them on my blog these days!

Pistachio Macaroons

They're not quite as glossy as I'd like but mmm pistachio...

I must pack them away now to bring them visiting... otherwise I may continue eating them.

Macaroons

Tricky little guys.. but here are my first attempts. 

Raspberry Ripple, which turned out pretty nifty. 

Peanut Butter and Jam, which are not quite as pretty but just as tasty. 

Good with a cuppa!
