Double cream

Good Morning everyone:D

Just a quick question please.....

I have a pot of double cream that is unopened but with a date of yesterday on it. Do you think it would be ok to still use it up today?

I also have a pot of gooseberries and I have never cooked with them before but DH loves them. So............. can anyone please give me a few quick ideas that are easy and yummy to make for pudding tonight.

Already have my veggies roasting in the oven now for tonights tea of veggie moussaka Yummy!

Thank you

    Hi munchki,

    The cream will more than likely be fine. I often use cream on or the day after it's best before date. I would open it smell it and if it smells ok then taste it. As we can't see the cream it's really a judgement call that only you can make.

    For gooseberry ideas have a look at this thread:

    Thank you Pink-Winged!! I have now just taken a fresh and lovely smelling mixed berry and gooseberry crumble out of the oven, will serve with the cream later for tea!
