I think you should do nigella's !!!!!! red raspberries in chardonnay jelly. Ha ha! It's a delicious pudding and you can make it ahead of time. And you can smile to yourself over the name if it all gets too much.

BTW, I did this recently for my ex an his new gf and it all went swimmingly, GOod luck!

1 bottle good fruity Chardonnay
300g raspberries
1 vanilla pod, split lengthways
5 gelatine leaves
250g caster sugar
double cream to serve
Instructions:

Place the wine and berries in a bowl and allow to steep for half an hour. Strain the wine into a saucepan and keep the raspberries to one side. Heat the wine with vanilla pod until nearly boiling and leave to steep on one side for 15 minutes.
Soak the gelatine leaves - which you can find in the supermarket these days - in cold water for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, after removing the vanilla pod, reheat the wine and stir in the sugar until it dissolves; allow to boil if you want to lose the alcohol. Add a third of the hot wine to the wrung-out gelatine leaves in a measuring jug and stir to dissolve, then add this mixture back into the rest of the wine and stir well. Strain into a large jug. Place the raspberries, equally, into 6 flattish, clear glass serving bowls, and pour the strained wine over the top.
Allow to set in the fridge for at least 3 hours, though a day would be fine if you want to make this well ahead, and take out of the fridge 15 minutes before serving.
Serve some double cream in a jug, and let people pour this into the fragrant, tender, fruit-jewelled jelly as they eat.

Serves 6

from Hugh F-W's book:

Double cream & a jam jar

put cream inside jam jar
put lid on jam jar
shake a lot (10 mins - half an hour)

If anyone wants full instructions, PM me, but it really is that easy, and it tastes great!

Good luck tonight! :eek:

Ooooh you fibber it's so not that easy, pretty easy but not that easy, i always feel like my fingers are getting frostbitten when I wash the buttermilk out of the butter.

how about lemon curd brulee for pudding. very easy - carton of double cream, whipped til it holds shape, 1/2 a jar of lemon curd. mix with the cream. put into ramekins and chill for at least at hour or overnight.

dust with icing sugar and then burn the icing sugar with a chefs blow torch, or grill. they are LUSH!

ha ha love the dog food pie idea!
