Use it up! Don't throw it in the bin!

Following on from my success with the crispy-baked potato peelings, I was having flashes of possible inspiration today peeling some eating apples....Do you think it would work if you drizzled them with either honey, or a quick spritz of oil & a sprinkling of sugar before flashing them under a grill or into a hot oven?

Why were you peeling some apples? Do you not eat them with skins on? I would try it lol, you never know...

Fried up some onions, chunks of winter squash (Crown Prince variety), a sliced red paper and a handful of over-ripe tomatoes and added them to some chicken stock. Cooked for 15 minutes and whizzed with a stick blender to make a very tasty soup.

Got-it-spend-it please can you tell me how you made your baileys fudge it sounds delicious.

This is the recipe. It is lovely but very sickly.

Baileys Fudge

Ingredients
375 g condensed milk
3 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1/3 cup Baileys Irish Cream
Directions

Line a 12x6 bar pan or slice pan with baking paper.

Heat the condensed milk carefully.

Melt the chocolate in a microwave 30 second bursts, stirring after each burst so it doesn't burn. Add to the condensed milk and then mix in Baileys.

Pour into your lined bar pan and set--leave to cool at room temp or if very warm were you live pop into the fridge to set.

I used value dark chocolate and more Baileys than stated in the recipe (prob twice as much) but it still set fine.

Stew and soup is a always a great way to use up left over cooked veg. On it's own it's not great but you'd never know it's not freshly cooked when you mix it all up together.
We always have pasta bake whith cheese suace if the milk is on it's way out too.

My lemon tart is in the oven cooking! Seems to have taken me all day, what with blind baking and all sorts. Never made anything like this before, but trying to use my maternity leave before baby comes effectively!

Hopefully it will be okay. Got the recipe off the telly from the programme Rachel Allen Bake!

I have a little bit of shortcrust pastry left which I have put in a sandwich bag in the fridge, but not sure what I can do with it. There's not very much.

There's quite a lot of the lemon tart filling left though which I'm not sure to do with. Guess my tart pan was smaller than the one she used. Any suggestions?

Mini lemon tarts along the line of jam tarts which are always a popular left over pastry recipe in my house!

If I am making something sweet and have left over pastry, I usually make little savoury pasties, cheese, onion and tomato or corned beef and onion/pickle or whatever you have in

I Sky Plussed that recipe when it was on tv. Could you not use the left over stuff as lemon curd ?
