How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[Christian]

Cut and pasted from another thread -

 

A few mince pies and Nigella's puddini bon bons

 

are the bon bons nice?

 

 

They are lovely! Very fiddly to make but worth it.

[Guest]

they look lovely Christian

 

I made mine in a bit of rush this morning, about an hour before our friends came

 

Couldn't get green cherries so had to cut up green jelly babies! (Ian usually has some Haribo lying around)

 

not a good pic but they weren't half bad, considering they were a rush job!

I made mine yesterday with lots of additional Cointreau. Very nice they are too!

 

[Guest]

love the holly toppers, are they marzipan?

[Mrs Frugal]

No, they're coloured icing. It took ages to roll out, cut and stamp 60 leaves and 90 berries .

I have made them too.

No where near as posh as Kates as the daughters did the decorating,& we had to use Angelica as I couldn't get green cherries.

They taste pretty darn good though.

 

I don't have those smart little paper cases either, but love the idea of putting them into a jar like Poet has.

Mine still seem very sticky.......anyone elses the same?

Oh, & I didn't much like that sherry Nigella 'made' me buy, so I used Armagnac instead

Yes, I admit it. I drive myself mad sometimes .

 

Mine are quite sticky too, Sarah. I had the paper cases left over from making Dad a box of chocolates a few years ago and as I was putting the bon bons in a box, I thought the cases might stop them from staining it.

[Guest]

mine are sticky too but I used a Christmas pud that was already laced with cognac and some other booze

[Cinnamon]

Next time I make them,I may give them a quick roll in some cocoa powder to dry them up a bit.

Oh, & I woke at 3am this morning KNOWING I had some of those little petits fours cases in the kitche,& I have too

Mine are a bit fudgey - made them today & just taste tested one. Will do the white choc & decoration tomorrow. Will they set or dry out a bit as they are very sort of gooey? Taste good though..I used normal sherry in mine.

yes, they do set better if left for a day, well mine did anyway

[craftyhunnypie]

Thanks Poet! I bet you could use white chocolate with normal madeira cake & maybe some cranberries or candied peel for a variation, if you didn't like Xmas pudding.

But I think they are heavenly as they are. Mmmmmmmm very moreish.

oh my gosh! I left mine for 2 days (covered) to set and have just put the white chocolate on them and left the chocolate to set, couldn't resist trying one and they are GORGEOUS! It's going to take real willpower not to 'try' any more!

[craftyhunnypie]

Mine had set a bit better, so just put the white chocolate on. I couldn't find green cherries or angelica or even green writing icing, so they have had to make do with just a bit of red glace cherry. I popped to Winsford this afternoon & looked in Asda, I suppose I should hav gone Morrisons. Never mind. Look good though & I know they are nice!

just buy some green jelly sweets and cut them up, ours were made with green jelly babies and green haribo sweets, they look just as good
