Slightly simil;ar to Quints I put the chops in a dish in the oven on 200deg for 10-15 min. Mix 4 tblesp tomato ketchup, 2 tblesp clear honey, 2 tsp mild chili powder, clove or 2 of crushed garlic and tblsp water. Remove chops from the oven and pour on sauce. Fully coat. Cook for 10-15 min, turn and cook for 10-15 min. Cooking time depends on how thick they are. This can also be used for sausages, as I found out recently.

Or brown pork chops and chuck in slow cooker add 2 tblsp of mustard seeds, 2 tblesp honey, shallots, sliced, a really good slug of apple juice. Stir in creme fraiche at the end. If you don't have a SC then I suspect you could do this in a casserole dish on low in the oven.

Serve with buttered mash and veg.

Thanks for the replies on the onion bahjis and the reheating info. Hadn't thought of asking that! I shall produce them with a flourish next time I make curry for him! (It's a solo treat for him when he's done a late shift):):T

Can you cook with eating apples? Usual stuff...pies etc.

Yes, I don't use cooking apples tbh I don't like the bitterness. I just use less sugar, and for crumble and pie I only ise the sugar in the topping and don't put any on the apples.

You can indeed. They need less sugar than cooking apples but work every bit as well.

Another quick question here...
How does one go about finding "a local greengrocer/market"?
A lot of people here seem to make big savings on fruit and veg, but the only one I can think of is in the town centre (parking is expensive, too far to walk), and another one at a "boutique" style farm shop which has crazy high prices!

A google search has thrown up no others in the area, apart from places that have farm shops attached to local attractions, but they sell things like luxury jams and fancy breads.

How did you all locate yours?

My local council has all the markets in the district listed with directions and the days they're open.

ETA - on the Council's website

I think it's a bit word of mouth, tbh, and there isn't always a reasonably priced greengrocer or a market within easy reach. Plus, as with the supermarkets, you have to buy what they're offering at a good price and leave the very expensive stuff: you can have asparagus for Christmas, but you'll pay for it! From that point of view, knowing what is seasonal is worthwhile. I've long felt that satsumas etc really aren't worth eating all year round!
