After eating a packet of store bought ginger kisses with my sister(well not quite a whole packet) I decided I must be able to make something that would closely resemble them...after a little search on the net I came up with this recipe and it really did work and what's more everybody loved them so will share the recipe with you all....I also had a request from the master of the house to get on and make the raspberry jam I had been promising to make...and got a right hurry along to deliver when I saw him in the supermarket with a jar of it!!!!How could he possibly buy Jam!
