Apple Braid question - Has anyone made this? I did it from the recipe that was posted with a photo, can't recall who posted it. However I think I did it wrong should it make two braids?

If it is D&DD's recipe off the Family of 5 thread then I usually make 2 from that recipe.

Hope this helps ((hugs))

:grouphug: to those who are feeling a little 'low'...such a lot of bad news these past couple of days, but you know how to find me if you fancy off-loading...my monitor & keyboard are very discrete & renowned for their confidentiality:o

Re: The
Hobnobs----made one lot that Pup really enjoyed:p This time I put in choccy chips that melted:whistle: on impact with the syrup stuff, but the human lodgers loved 'em.
Lemon & PoppySeed Muffins----had to explain what the 'black bits' were, & also agree that perhaps a little less milk & more lemon juice next time.
Spending----£32+ today in MrT; £20-odd Tuesday & £6-00 window cleaner so £59:77 to add to the total.

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=904371 is an excellent partner to this one....all about using up stuff as opposed to throwing it away. Go have a look-see--surpisingly there's some things we've not thought of before! I can't remember now, but think this might be the place that led me to the recipe for making "chocolate coconut bites" that you're bounty enjoy! It's on recipezaar.com , 227707.

200g condensed milk
100g dessicated coconut
8oz (approx) icing sugar
8oz (dark) chocolate

1. Mix condensed milk & coconut.
2. Add enough icing sugar to make a stiff dough.
3. Form into ball shapes & place on a baking tray.
4. Leave in fridge, preferrably overnight, to firm.
5. Melt chocolate & dip coconut mixture into it to cover.
6. Leave to allow chocolate to harden. yeah...right....like THAT'S gunna happen!

The condensed milk was £1:20 for a 407g tin in MrT today...strangely the Light version was 407g £1:20 & the ordinary was 370g @ £1:20:confused: Anyways, hoping to give it a go, maybe tomorrow.

BigMummaF, can I have the lemon and poppyseed muffin recipe please

Thanks

clair2305

oh, and that's what I remembered to ask.....in that TV prog on ITV1 about food, someone (in an Indian restaurant I think) was using what I can only term as a coconut baller, sort of scraped the flesh of the coconut.

Does anyone know what this is and where to get one?

Thanks

Just popped into Mr T and Asda last night to see if they had any whoopsies - got 2 quorn burgers for 50p and and nan bread for 22p in Asda along with another couple of 8p noodles for DS. In Mr T got two tubs of mascarpone for 10p each, value mozzarella for DD lunch and some cherry toms.

Now - what can I do to use the mascarpone up quickly? Tried adding it to pasta and leeks for lunch, not bad but a bit bland. Don't really want to use it for a sweet dish as am trying to loose weight. We are all veggie and stocks are running low as end of week. Have leeks and potates left, plus lots of tins of beans (not baked) and other store cupboard essentials.
