Have fun JLHMD666, hope you enjoy the fruits of your labours. If the whole amount is too much for you you can easily halve the recipe the cooking times will be the same, Lyn xxx.0 -

Thanks MrsL
I made pickled red cabbage for the first time ever and I have the bread & butter pickles so hoping both of them will work out. I also want to try pickled beetroot and will be doing the piccalilli. My only worry is that they don't turn out especially as OH is moaning about just buying a jar already. I want to show him how much better it is to make
It's really kind of you to share your recipes 2016 Grocery Challenge January: £296.20/£300 February: £262.05/£3000 -
Home made is ALWAYS nicer than mass produced commercial, whatever it is, one mouthfull and you'll have a complete convert and he'll be asking you to make lots more preserves, wait and see. Don't forget though that home made preserves need to be kept for a little while to let the flavours mature, most of the chutneys and things like picalilli need about a month to 6 weeks to be at thier best before you use them, Lyn xxx.0

Thanks for enquiring Candlelight. I'm just recovering from a hospital stay as needed a small procedure done - it needed sedation. I'm ok though. Otherwise have been busy clearing rubbish and trying to get organised.Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do, Do without.0

AOT I am sorry you have been in hospital, take it easy and don't do too much until you have your strength back. It can take a while for the body to rid itself of anaesthetic.
Much love to you

thanks MrsLW for the recipes - I'm feeling a bit more positive that I can use the green tomatoes if they refuse to ripen.
Hoglet - I have an old Delia book which I dug out and found the green tomato recipe - didn't think of looking there!
Sausage plait will be Friday nights meal I think - I can even use some of the windfall apples which is a real bonus.
I was a bit surprised to find it a good deal cooler in London today than normal. It was a bitterly cold 3 degrees when I left home this morning and I expected to hop off the plane into warmth however there was a definite nip in the air. On the plus side I wasn't my usual hot and bothered self when I got to the office. We have hail storms forecast for Thursday. I do hope its just a temporary blip and we will still have some late summer to come.NO FARMS = NO FOOD0 -
Good morning all,
Overcast here today and very cool, I think we have probably seen the last of our lovely summer.
We are taking DGS and DD out for a carvery this lunchtime to celebrate his AS results. He can eat for England so he will enjoy that but I have to smuggle a bottle of tomato sauce in with me because he eats that with everything
Have to pop out for some bread and milk this morning, but trying not to spend too much at the moment.
Flora was up and about early this morning, but is now fast asleep in her chair and will probably be there for the morning.
FTM I hope you and the girls are OK
Lyn is it today that He Who Knows comes back home? I don't suppose you will have a look in when Docky sees his Daddy I hope DD is much improved now, and I think you said the Zebra child is going to see her. I think he will always be called "the Zebra child" I hope DD2 doesn't mind, it is such a lovely name for a much loved child.
I don't think I have any more news today, love and hugs to everyone and I hope everyone is well

Hi CANDLELIGHT yes He Who Knows comes back today and yes Docky will be a very happy boy 'cos he luvs his Dadi bestest of all!!!
DD1 is feeling much better now but I think she'll be better again after the GCSE results are out this morning, she worries so for her pupils and tries so hard to sort out any problems, I guess that's just good teaching but sometimes it costs!!! She's off to visit her sister this afternoon and going for dinner this evening with a teaching colleague who commutes to school from the city DD2 lives in so DD1 will stay the night with her sister and the Zebra child, yes DD2 loves it and yes I will always think of him as baby Zebra. Tomorrow she's off to the theatre with another teaching colleague to see one of thier current pupils in a musical where he has a fairly major part, it's a National Youth Theatre production so should be very good. They're going for a meal later as it's a matinee performance so a couple of relaxy days for her after lots of angst!!!
I've found a recipe for blackberry chutney, I knew there had to be one, in a wartime recipe book, so I'm going to make a big batch this afternoon, the freezers are groaning and the blackberries keep ripening!!! Wish me luck, Lyn xxx.
GCSE results amazingly good, lots of A*s, and all at A* to C except for 1 solitary D, she's a happy teacher!!!0 -
Hello all,
Lyn that is lovely she must be so pleased with her students and it shows that hard work from the students and the teachers pays off in the end.
I feel a bit tired today, I don't know why except I was so cold last night and I have a few sniffles. Since I retired I hardly ever have a cold, so hopefully this won't be much.
Have been busy this morning because we went to DD to pick her up to take her into town. She wanted her eyebrows threading and to go to the bank. Popped into M&S for a couple of bits and then took her home.
Once home I started peeling potatoes and have made a cheese, onion and potato pie with sliced beef tomatoes on top and 8 potato cakes. The pie is for tomorrow with a couple of rashers of smoked bacon and I am going to freeze the potato cakes.
I also split a pound of pork sausages and mixed it with some sage and onion stuffing. I mixed a beaten egg into the mixture and then formed little sausage meat patties dusted in flour. Those are being frozen as well.Having done an inventory of the freezer the other day I thought I hadn't much in there if I needed to do something quickly.
Cooking all that has warmed me up anyway thank goodness.
If I don't get chance again have a lovely weekend everyone and stay warm
Much love
Candlelightx0
