Lesley Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Oooh Lemon curd I don't make it often because I eat it straight from the jar I've made Honey and Chilli Roast Root Veggies with a Herby Cream Sauce. I also made a boiled fruit cake......set the timer but forgot to press Start........cooked it for 2 hours instead of 1 Luckily I'd covered it with paper as it was starting to go quite brown, it seems to be OK (and I don't eat it anyway ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 choc banana cakes, victoria sponges, made pumpkin chutney, pumpkin marmalade, some onion marmaleade /relish stuff that caramalised and set like toffee apple(in the bin with it ). Today we had pikelets, and soda bread for tea, after roast lunch, so all are quiet and full!, and teenager IS going to do his homework.... now....... : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omletina Kyckling Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 My veggie friend is coming around tonight so a spicy lentil soup is cooking as I type (has coconut milk, chillies and coriander in it), loaf of bread in the breadmaker for tomorrow. I will be making some homemade peshwari naans to go with the soup. Then making a brioche loaf for my mum. Probably some kind of red fruit take on eve's pudding for supper. Made some Easiyo greek yoghurt last night to go with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 What's gypsy toast? Is it with beaten egg & brown sugar? I prefer plain old fashioned eggy bread. Mm mmm mmmmm. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Oh fancy that. Wonder why it's called gypsy toast. I've heard of gypsy tart. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Ooooh gypsy tart - a Kent speciality. Yum Anyway today I have cooked 500g of Cranberry Relish whilst watching The Santa Clause (I know I'm sad but it is nearly Christmas) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 I made Quince Jelly and Hot Chilli Paste yesterday. Then I found out of date dates and apricots ( ) so I made Delia's Christmas Chutney - ideal for me as it doesn't have any raisins or sultanas in it It is a bit salty if anyone else is thinking of making it. I'm going to make Quince Wine with the mush left from making the jelly - I have a recipe for using the mush from making raspberry jelly, so I'll try that.

chickencam Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Delia's mincemeat went in the oven at 8am this morning after being measured and mixed last night & a one and a half times mixture of her Christmas cake is in the oven now. The house smells very Christmassy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stehaggan Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Well I bought a huge bag of passion fruit so I have made some passion fruit curd mmm made some spot sponges and sandwiched it - they were like Jaffa cake bases!! Which had given me ideas. Just made some meringues ( never done them before) topped with some curd, vanilla ice cream And some passion fruit mmm the meringues were still chewy as they were just out of the oven! Plenty more to cool and set too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 I've started a batch of mincemeat ready to finish tomorrow - I hate mincemeat but love the smell of the spices and oranges! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miffy Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 about to make pasties....yum yum wonder how many SW syns they will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hummingbird Bakery's Banana loaf which has ginger and cinnamon in it so the smell of it baking is just scrummy. I've got myself a Delia bag for the Christmas cake although we never, ever have Christmas cake in this house. Hubby has decided he likes fruit cake now so we're going to make it.

Seagazer Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Today I've made some ginger biscuits with bits of stem ginger in it - they're really yummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hello everyone - never been on this part of the forum before today. Today I made a pepperonata salad for the freezer (for boxing day) and a chocolate torte also for the freezer. The torte was interesting because the base was made of crushed walnuts and hazelnuts (unlike the usual crushed biscuits) set in melted butter. The torte mixture itself had LOADS of chocolate, 6 eggs and a tin of pureed chestnuts.....mmm. Looks like it will be very rich so I am hoping it will go a long way. Got my usual crowd of about twenty on boxing day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 24 mince pies made last night. Own pastry using Trex & own mincemeat ( very very boozy). Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 72 mini mince pies and 9 jars of cranberry & orange sauce. I added some edible glitter at the last minute and it is stunning. A deep cranberry colour (yes, really ) with silver glittery bits! Sultana & banana loaf and a loaf of bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Am jealous of your glitter sauce. If I had my way there would be glitter on everything. Once had glitter bedding plants in the garden after crafting. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
