The festive season is finally upon us, and what better way to celebrate than with some delicious treats? Selati pure white cane sugar has been a staple in many South African pantries for decades. Made using quality, locally grown sugar cane from the Nkomazi Valley, Selati sugar is perfect for adding a sprinkle of joy and a touch of sweetness to festive baking and cooking. Whether you’re hosting, gifting, or just want to indulge, our two scrumptious recipes will add a delightful twist to celebrations.

Caramel 2 ways: Chai-spiced caramel and soya caramel

Caramel lovers, rejoice! We have two fantastic caramel recipes that make perfect home-made gifts. Infused with warm spices including cinnamon and cardamom, chai-spiced caramel is ideal for drizzling over desserts or enjoying straight from the jar. Soya caramel is a unique twist on salted caramel that adds an umami kick to both sweet and savoury dishes. When making caramel, Selati pure white cane sugar is essential. It melts smoothly, achieving that beautiful golden colour and rich flavour. The sweetness of Selati sugar balances the spices in the chai version, and enhances the umami in the soya version.

Brandy snaps

When it comes to festive treats, brandy snaps are a must! These unique cookies differ from traditional biscuits in their crisp, delicate texture, making them a fun baking project for novice bakers. They’re perfect for cookie swaps or having something sweet for your guests. Made with Selati pure white cane sugar, the sugar not only adds sweetness but is also essential for achieving that lovely golden colour and crunch. We’ve filled some brandy snaps with a creamy caramel made using whipped cream and Caramel Treat for an extra-special touch.
