| 52 | Christmas Mince My recipe made enough for 2 years and I just kept in the fridge, it did have 1/2 cup brandy which may have helped and it was just fine. marywea - 2007-11-03 00:29:00 |
| 53 | Hi 43! The marbles keep the mix moving on the bottom of the pot - as it boils the movement moves the marbles and the mixture goes with the marbles - a darling friend taught me that wee trick, and it was soooooooo simple i thought - how come i didn't think of that!!! it really does work and i do it with all my jams etc that will thicken as they cook. have a blessed day!! christmas baking today - am addicted to christmas am happy to admit it!! timetable - 2007-11-03 08:12:00 |
| 54 | These are amazing: 6-8 sweet red peppers Char grill the peppers & garlic until black and blistered. Peel and deseed peppers when cold. cut lengthwise into 2.5 cm wide strips. Combine all ingredents except peppers and garlic in a saucepan. Squeez roasted garlic out of skin, mash and add to saucepan. Boil quickly, reduce heat and boil gently for 5 mins. Pack peppers in jars & cover boiling vinagar liquid. Makes 2 x 500 ml jars or 4 x 250 ml jars, process 15 mins for both 250 ml and 500 ml jars. friend21 - 2007-11-07 00:26:00 |
| 55 | What I used them for. I use these for antipasta, in salads. As a cold relish on veal/lamb steaks. As a stuffing in rolled up fish kebabs +++++ friend21 - 2007-11-07 00:29:00 |

| 60 | Hi Bexx.. They're excellent jars for preserves, etc.. hope you have someone to collect your jars.. if not, Opp shops will take them. ps.. just a note so that you don't get an email from Trademe.. their rules for the messageboards are that we can't include contact details of any kind in a post - I guess it also protects someone from being contacted by any number of other trader's too. juliewn - 2007-11-25 00:58:00 |

| 69 | Anyone seen a book.. called "Homegrown" from the New Zealand Gardener magazine it's a special collector's edition that has the months of the year and shows you how to sow, grow, harvest, pickle, preserve fresh fruit, herbs and vegetables from your garden. It's $14.90 but it has some bl--dy delicious looking recipes in it.I found it at Countdown whiskey13 - 2007-12-04 10:04:00 |
| 70 | Hi.. that sounds really interesting Whiskey.. thanks for posting about it.. I'll check for it when at Countdown later.. though as it's closing this Sunday and a brand new shop is opening on Monday, the stocks are way down in the current store. Wish me luck! juliewn - 2007-12-04 16:10:00 |

| 74 | Its a great book- I bought mine at the bookshop in Wgtn airport but have seen seen it at Whitcouls, and even the local bookshop has it- shouldn't be too hard to find. Put out by NZ Gardener people so anywhere that is sold it should be available. Good luck finding one. katalin2 - 2007-12-07 23:35:00 |
| 75 | Thanks Katalin.. I'll check at Whitcoull's also.. it sounds like an excellent book to combine home grown produce with interesting preserving and meals.. juliewn - 2007-12-09 00:24:00 |
| 76 | Meat paste - how do you bottle it? Hi, I have a meat paste recipe my late auntie used to make, lovely, but rich!, but I'm not sure how to bottle it? Do I sterilise the bottle, then fill while hot with hot paste, and let lids pop as with pickles, OR, should I let the bottles cool and fill with cooler mixture?? I have read you can freeze it once in the jars too. thanks in anticipation Janice kiwi761 - 2007-12-09 13:16:00 |
| 77 | Hi Kiwi.. I've not made meat paste - however would probably freeze it in small quantities.. hopefully someone else will see your question and be able to help.. juliewn - 2007-12-13 23:50:00 |

| 80 | Christmas Pickle 8 cups Diced Cucumber. 1/4 cup plain salt, 4 onions died, 2-3 red peppers diced, 3 cups sugar, 1 tsp celery seed, 1 tsp mustard seed, 2 cups wine vinegar, 2-3 tbsp cornflour. Use long thin skinned cucumbers, halve lengthwise then scoop out seedy part using a teaspoon. Cut cucumber flesh into small evenly shaped cubes. Place into a large saucepan with all other ingredients except cornflour. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Mix cornflour with a little extra vinegar and stir into cucumber mixture. Bottle as per normal. This is quite a sweet pickle,great for on cold meats or just with bread and cheese. Very colourful and easy to make. enjoy! PS I had a bit of difficulty locating celery seeds and finally got some from the health food shop! hawki1 - 2007-12-17 21:34:00 |

| 83 | Your Christmas Pickle sounds so good Hawk.. thanks for sharing it.. Hope you like the pickled garlic Lynaire.. it's delicious.. ps.. I've noticed that the Chinese garlic sold in small bags in supermarkets tends to go greenish once it's pickled - it's not a problem - it just is a different colour to what might be expected.. Enjoy your goodies.. juliewn - 2007-12-18 00:10:00 |

My lemon trees are still young - 3 lemons on one of them, one on the other - can't wait till I have lot's of beautiful lemons to enjoy - they're one of my favourite fruits. In the meantime, two friend's have said "come and help yourself to lemon's - even if we're not home, fill up a bag" - which is much appreciated.. I can eat lemons like an apple - peel one and eat it! Sooo delicious.. Let us know how your lemon curd tastes on your toast! juliewn - 2007-12-27 23:38:00 |
