red onion chutney keeps 18months plus
and it will get better and better with age
over time it develops a deep caramely(sp) flavour

Morning all!
As I'm looking to make some snowman soup for secret santas/my sister/etcc, I have been looking around for these cellophane cones - and they're pretty darn expensive!
Does anyone have any other ways of doing them/cheaper alternatives and things because I don't want to be spending a fortune on cellophane [=

you can buy cello in sheets or rolls and make your own cones
or you can buy christmassy cello bags and make it up that way

the bags are quite costly, and you need 2 for each one
personally i bought them
i faff around with everything, but this was one step too far for me
i make too many to start rolling and sealing my own
