Have a magnum of champagne we have had a few glasses and would like some ideas for using up leftover champagne. Would it be possible to make a sorbert with it?

Or jelly. Or freeze and use in strawberry jam next year.

Left over Champagne??? you should be hung, drawn and quartered!
But yes jelly or sorbet would work well x

A lovely side dish is fennel poached in champagne (and no, I don't eat this often lol). You get some bulbs of fennel, wash and trim them, and then slice into quarters. Gently fry in some butter until the cut edges are browned, then add a little lemon juice, some seasoning and some champagne. Press some greaseproof paper over the fennel and cook gently until the fennel is tender - then remove the fennel to a warm bowl, and increase the heat and bubble the sauce until it's reduced slightly. Taste for seasoning (it may need more salt, pepper or lemon) and then spoon over the fennel and serve.

Any way you might use white wine....risotto,Pasta with delcate savory flavours etc.

BUT, it is worth having the type of stopper that works on sparkling wine. They are excellent and in this long period between chrsitmas and new year very useful for those who struggle to get to the bottom of a bottle. it means you can have a glass at breakfast (obviously of not working or driving) because a champagne breakfast is such a hapoy start to a day, and a glass when home.

Jelly, btw, is my use up of choice otherwise.

I'd use it in a casserole - any recipe involving wine or cider will do, just use the champagne to replace the wine/cider. I like Delia's recipe for coq au vin but made with dry cider; that would work fine with champagne.

Freeze it into ice cubes

Then Strawberry jam - cheat and but the half prepared tin from Lakeland, - just add sugar and liquid, - defrost the champagne and top up with water - makes about 6 x 1lb jars.

Cook your carrots posh - slice, chop how ever you have them, instead of putting water in the saucepan, use champagne and orange juice, bring to boil, simmer to cook, gives the carrots a beautiful orangey kit.

Pork chops - if frozen defrost - pop the chops to soak in a container (in fridge) anything from couple of hrs to overnight - really tenderasies the pork. (i normally use cider, - but champers be just as good).
