Weezl74 He will find that highly amusing. He's a very friendly fellow. Do say hi, he will find it funny, and want to know how I know someone in his new adopted country :-)

Value tin of sliced peaches 29p Drain and chop them up a little smaller
Makes 6 ramekins of jelly with fruit
served with
Instant custard 8p

As I used peaches in juice I was wondering if there are any suggestions on what to do with the reserved juice?

Hi Shaz, cake tasted lovely.. but was rather "wet" at the bottom... the skewer did come out clean when I tested it..... any thoughts?

mmm don't know i guess flor can be an issue as in some absorb more/less liquid than others or maybe it wanted a bit longer cooking than the instructions suggested i tend to ignore cooking times and go by doneness ..............................sorry no help at all:o


Weezl

Good luck in your challenge weezl. I followed your last one with great interest and will do the same with this one. You put me to shame! I have a budget of over 80 a week - but we do have growing 3 children!

Does the pot au chocolat freeze ok?

Good luck weezl, i will be watching this with awe!

I am going to go all ahead to stop spending on food, but not sure how well i can do. Watching you will inspire and invigorate me to continue and cook wisely.

Thanks

Next time I'd use it as part of the liquid to make up the jelly (you don't have to heat it. If you add boiling water less the amount of juice, then add the juice it'll be fine and might even set quicker!), but otherwise drink it, add it to a smoothie, pour over sponge cake as part of a trifle type pudding, use with chopped fruit to make a fruit salad, use instead of milk if making a cake...

:T:T:Thmkn, great ideas! And also Germ, if your kids like squash, you could reduce it in a pan on the hob by about half (with a bit of sugar if unsweetened) then they can add water and have it as high-juice peach squash?

Wow I am really impressed with this thread and am going to keep an eye on how you are all doing-near where I live we are lucky to have loads of brambles and wild rasberries which I always gather in the summer and use-they taste so much better than shop bought ones too. Plus we are growing our spinach, courgettes, salad, tomatoes and strawberries.

Anybody have any idea how I can use lemon balm:j in cooking as I have got loads

I'm here watching and learning as usual. I shall also wave to you and ISOM as I bomb down the M4 later tonight to go to visit my dad the other side of Bridgend. Hope you ordered good weather for me this weekend!:j
