• Place the mixture the prepared baking dish. Insert the bay leaves into the meat. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

SOUTH AFRICAN HOMEMADE LEMONADE

Steps:

• The secret to perfect lemonade is to make a simple syrup by dissolving the sugar in warm water so that it's dispersed evenly instead of sinking to the bottom. So if you have a stove handy, heat the sugar and water in a small saucepan and stir until its completely dissolved; otherwise just stir very well.
• Extract the juice from the lemons. I use my Granny's juicer but you can do this anyway you like.
• Pour the juice and sugar water into a jug, throw in the raisins and leave for a while, overnight if possible, to allow them to start fermenting and give it a fizz.
• Before serving add about two cups of cold water and a bag of ice to the jug - more or less, depending on how strong you want it to be. If the lemonade is still a little sweet for anyone's taste, chuck a slice or two of lemon into the glass.
