Ground Almonds What To Make?

When the oranges are boiled up they are easy to break up and mash, just takes a bit of time, but it's a lovely cake

Even the skin?

Yes the whole lot minus the pips.

yes but will the skin/pith break down enough to mash with a fork? I don't have a blender.

Yes, or a potato masher perhaps even and electric whisk might work
If you find there are bits of skin you cant mash you can cut them thro with a knife, take them out or leave them in. It does seem a bit weird the first time you make the cake, using whole oranges with skin and pith but it works fine

I always make this with just plums if I cant get greengages, its a Nigel Slater recipe

Almond greengage and/or plum crumble


serves 4-6
plums, greengages or a mixture - 1kg
caster sugar - 3 or 4 tbs, depending on how sweet your fruit is
For the almond crumble:
plain flour - 120g
butter - 85g, cut into cubes
unrefined golden caster sugar - 4 tbs
ground almonds - 4 tbs
Set the oven at 175°c/gas 4. Rinse and stone the plums, removing any stalks as you go. Toss the fruit in a deep baking dish with the sugar. Whizz the flour and butter in a food processor, then, when the mixture resembles fine, fresh breadcrumbs, add the sugar and almonds. Tip on top of the fruit and bake till the fruit is bubbling under the pale, golden crumble. About 40-45 minutes.

Hi Loopyshoe

The first thing that comes to mind is in curries/kormas etc (i remember Jinkys thread he he)

Thankfully there is a whole thread about ground almonds, so have a read and I will merge your thread with that one later

thanks

Hi floyd-Thankyou for that you i love crumbles,so i think that recipe might get used.
Hi zippy-thanks for the merge didnt know there was another thread,how do i check that before posting a new thread?

Im not too keen on mild curries like kormas,prefer ones with a bit of added spice!
I do like the idea of something sweet though,yumyum!

Don't worry yourself at all! If you think about Old Style, nine times out of ten someone has previously asked the same question After a while you will learn thread titles etc. I remember being in awe of people knowing how to find stuff! :o

This thread - i searched but couldn't find anything is a brrrilliant guide from Squeaky. If you look there, it taught me all I know
