  • Anyone have any ideas on how to use up lots of jam? I'm in a shared house and we've been clearing out our fridge - found several jars of jam that belonged to ex housemates. Hate to throw it away but none of us eat enough of it and it's taking up space:rolleyes:

    Thanks.
    Hi Anzac biscuit,

    Good morning everyone.

    Can anyone tell me (sometime today) what I can do with an Aubergine, I bought it with some minced lamb to do Mousaka, then used the lamb to make Jamie Oliver' s Lamb burgers, which incidentally were lovely:cheesy: .
    The other obvious use for it is in ratatouille, but I wondered if anyone has other ideas. Aubergines are certainly too expensive to waste.

    Slice thinly lengthways and use as a replacement for lasagne sheets. Might be best to blanch them first

    Nice one Sandy 2, Thanks I will try that, as I'm supposed to be 'weight watching' it will also be good for the programme.

  • My husband has made 2 "quichey-flaney" things. They are filo pastry with feta cheese, spinach and a bit of egg in them. He made 2 as he was trying to use up all the spinach in our garden. They are gorgeous, but we cant eat both. Will it be OK to freeze one of them? We wouldn't want to re-heat them, just defrost and eat with salad or something. Will it be OK to freeze with these ingredients please? If it is, he is going to make a tomoto one tonight too as we've got loads of them too!
    Many Thanks

    hello all I bought some chilled scottish cooked mussles in garlic from morrisons and froze them. I have just got them out of the freezer and noticed it says nothing about defrosting or freezing. only how to cook from chilled. no warning about previous been frozen.. not sure now if they have already been frozen so not safe to eat. what do you think??
    IT'S ALL ABOUT ME!!!:j:money:

    Can I freeze bread and butter pudding? I've just made one to use up some stale bread but there's defiinitely too much as there's only 2 of us at the moment.

    You can buy frozen quiche and it says on the box of ready made ones that they freeze for up to a month. My mum also used to make and freeze quiche and I'm not dead so I reckon you'll be OK.

    I can't see why not; if it's going to get wasted I'd rather freeze it and see than throw it away. Think about the ingredients - would they be OK to freeze individually?
