Lesley Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 I've bottled plums and pears in vanilla syrup, made a Pear and Vanilla Liqueur (I hope - made it up as I went along) and Lavender Shortbread. I also bottled the leftover Vanilla Syrup to use as sauce for ice-cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckyBoo Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 A Mrs Beaton recipe for Plum Pickle and its gone wrong What happened Debs? I have to say you might be able to rescue it, I had a load of pickle that WOULD NOT go sticky no matter how long I boiled it. I waited til it went cold, discovered at the same time it was too sweet, reboiled it and played around with the flavourings, ended up using a little cornflour and it was bloomin lovely! So don't give up on it, unless it's already in the bin BeckyBoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 Ooops! - don't forget to say on the labels if you give any away - or you could be sued for the cost of dental work I made the Cardamom Cake last week and must have cooked it for too long and it was a bit dry - being in a plastic bag hasn't helped so I made a Bread and Butter pudding with it - divine!!! I've made some of the Cucumber Dill Pickles as well with a couple of tough cucumbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Like a fool I decided to make some Christmas puddings yesterday I was up with work at 4am and got home at 10am. Still steaming them at 9pm last night Still have 5 lovely puddings all done. Will be lovely by Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Mmmmm, some lovely food on this topic. Christian, I know what you mean, starting enthusiastically early in the morning, then running out of steam waiting to finish in the evening. But what a great result, well done! 3 months ahead of schedule then. Well, I always do mine last week Oct. if I can, and certainly never mention Christmas in September. Very organised though, and I bet they'll be delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
