chickencam Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 We were given a little book by the same organisation in return for filling in a questionaire and a pledge to reduce waste, at the Cheltenham Food and Drink Festival earlier this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Funny - I didn't think we had much waste in this house until we were given a counter top waste food bin as part of the new waste disposal scheme our council started. It has suprised me just how much we do chuck away. Obviously the hens do their bit,but all the compot heaps & bins are now full, so for example this week, I have had to bag up a whole heap of spent Crabapple pulp from my jelly making & 5 large Artichokes worth of nibbled leafs At least its now being disposed of responsibly by my council who are composting everything Any waste really bothers me,so I a big fan of this council scheme & any sites like this one that help you to use up every last s"Ooops, word censored!".

The Dogmother Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Good for you Sarah. What little food waste we have is shared between the hens and wormery. When I make jellies, I sieve the pulp before netting it. The 'dead' pulp in the net goes into fairy cakes or sponges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Ooooo - hadn't thought of that But then again I rarely make cakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 You shock me! Mix some sugar in thei the fruit pulp and then put a dob of it in the middle of the sponge mixture when making fairy cakes, or marble it into a sponge mixture. Very tasty.

Cinnamon Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Sponge cakes just aren't our thing really. A plate of Flapjack or Christmas cake doesn't last 5 minutes though! I just don't have a sweet tooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I always cook the cores as well when I make apple jelly so I can't do that but then we do have the pigs and they love the apple mush. I just made a sort of Bread and Butter pudding with a dry Cardamom Cake - tastes divine. I went off to look at that site this morning - and forgot to come back here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I always cook the cores as well when I make apple jelly so I can't do that I use the cores too, but I sieve it before using the jelly net, so I just use the lovely fine pulp from the net. Cores and co"Ooops, word censored!"r stuff goes to the chooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
