Hiya Penny,

Apologies for any rule breaks, I was simply links to the Cranfields Chutney recipe, not my own site? (however, seeing as though its my mum's I understand the confusion!)

The recipe is also up on the CH4 site now as others have linked to so no worries

I'm sorry to say this, and it's my biggest bug bear with her, Nigella et al. The 'edible glitter' they use isn't actually edible. Some are made by a company called EdAble Art, but they still aren't for use on food items, Disco dusts are another non edible glitter.

Most have a warning that appear that say 'non toxic' (and occasionally expanded with 'for craft use only') which does not mean that they should be eaten, they are indigestible. On a good day, that'll just mean that the ahem, by product, will be sparkily. On a bad day, someone could have an allergic reaction. They should be used only on items that will not be eaten (for instance, on a cake, an item that would be removed before serving).

If however, you're referring to a product called Magic Sparkles, then these are completely edible, and so carry on.....or if you're using them on an item that won't be eaten.

I don't mean to get on my high horse, and sorry for anyone who already knows all this, or uses something like Magic Sparkles, but there does seem to be a huge amount of 'celebraties' using these products on items that are meant to be eaten, and actually stating they're safe for use on food, when they're no such thing. :mad::mad::mad:

i did not know this, i bought my first ones from a specialist cake decorating shop years ago and have suffered no ill effects- the packaging is very misleading... however i still love the effect so i think i'll carry on using them in moderation... maybe stop putting it on top of my coffee though... lol
