Hi I have the following items that I want to use up over the next couple of weeks & am looking for ideas if you have any suggestions and/or recipes. Thanks :beer:

Half a jar of ginger jam
Some stem ginger in ginger syrup (was thinking of putting this in an apple crumble...)
Half a pack of dates
some fairly plain, slightly spiced biscuits
Half a small tin of golden syrup

Umm think thats it.....

Use the ginger jam in bread & butter pudding

The stem ginger in stewed rhubarb, or a ginger cake, or chocolate truffles

Chop dates and add to muesli, or make sticky toffee pudding, or date and walnut cake, or have them whole as snacks/in lunchboxes

Use the biscuits as a base for cheesecake, or use with the golden syrup to make a chocolate biscuit cake

Use the golden syrup to make treacle tart, chocolate biscuit cake, sticky toffee pudding, treacle sponge.

Thanks for those.
Can I also add:
Frozen raspberries
Tin of pineapple chunks
Jar of sundried tomatoes in olive oil (can I put these into a pasta sauce?)
A lot of frozen sweetcorn
Thanks again everyone!

You sure can. I would drain them first , adding more olive oil from the jar to yuor own taste. Sweetcorn can also go in pasta sauce.

Frozen raspberries = Smoothies? Whizz up with some milk. PIneapple - pizza, eat on its own as fruit, use to moisten a carrot cake , use frozen sweetcorn to bulk p sandwich fillings as well - eg tuna and mayo.

Some pretty good ideas there before me. Heres a useful site, cooking by numbers , give it a wee bash and it should give some interesting answers.
