fedupandskint

Do any of you great OStylers and thrifty ones have any ideas how I could use up 3 pears (v.ripe and soft, just about to go bad) and 4 eating apples (again v.ripe and soft)

I am trying not to throw food away anymore as this is one of my money wasting habits:o

Any ideas would by very welcome, thanks in advance:T

I sometimes stew them up with sugar and raisins and then serve with my porridge

Or you could do a crumble?

Muffins :j or cakes :beer:

I'm sure I've seen quanitities on this board, but basically mash the pears and use to replace same quantity of mashed banana in a recipe.

Look up in the index or google 'apple cake' or 'apple muffin' and you'll find lots of great recipes. Cheap and healthy, too, because you'll need very little extra sugar.

When they're done, can I come round and have some warm from the oven? I've got a scary job interview this afternoon and I need comfort food!

Hi fedupandskint,

There's an earlier thread with lots of ideas that should help so I've added your thread to it to keep the suggestions together.

Thanks to everyone and finding the thread out for me, lots of ideas to try for puds (will convert to wheat free, should be ok)

That might be because I've had a bit more practice than you over the years
