Construction Update
Clubhouse
I'm sure a lot of residents have wondered why construction on the Clubhouse has not started and when it will? The reason for the delayed start is that the Clubhouse increased in size from 505m2 to over 800m2 in order to accommodate the required services and amenities. When the plans was submitted it triggered a Site Development Plan (SDP) update, which was approved 2 weeks ago. The building plans are now once again circulating with the council and we expect to start with construction as soon as Steyter Constructions returns in January. Construction should still be finished in August.
Care Centre
As many of you might have noticed construction on the Care Centre has started with the ground floor walls already window height in certain areas. Construction is on schedule and the Care Centre should open it's doors in January 2021
Newly Elected Board of Trustees
This carefully selected group has overall responsibility for the management of La Récolte and we are excited to introduce them.

Recipe of the month: Traditional Gammon
Ingredients
1 large gammon (approx 2-3kg)
sea salt
4 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup/jar cranberry jelly
2 Tbsp butter
Maraschino cherries
Pineapple rings (1 fresh or 1 can)
Toothpicks to secure the cherries and pineapple rings to the gammon
12 cloves
Method
Preheat the oven to 160°C.
Rub the gammon with the olive oil and sea salt.
Cook in the oven for 30 minutes per 500g plus an extra 30 minutes.
When cooked through, remove the rind and score the fat in a diamond pattern.
Place a few cloves randomly along the diamond pattern.
Use toothpicks to secure the pineapple rings and the cherries to the fatty part of the
gammon.
Heat the cranberry jelly, syrup from the pineapples (if you used canned) and butter in a small saucepan until melted.
Pour 1 cup water into the roasting tray so that the gammon does not dry out.
Glaze the gammon with the cranberry syrup, then return the gammon to the oven until the fat caramelizes.
Leave the gammon to rest for 15 minutes before carving into thin slices. (remember to take out the toothpicks).
