| 52 | Hi Toadfish. Thanks for your recipe for mini cakes using pots. Where did you buy the pots as I have read that the pots should not contain lead and the ones in the garden centres probably do have lead. Have you any suggestions for using the pots. Thanks. clair4 - 2006-09-01 16:56:00 |

Even Christmas cake/pudding haters eat this...1c stale xmas cake or pudding crumbled...2tbsp raspberry or strawberry jam...3-4 tbsp rum (I use brandy)...2c icecream...1c whipped cream.Gently mix first 3 ingredients together...leave 10 minutes to develop flavour...combine with icecream and cream to give a rippled effect. put into clingfilm lined container.

| 77 | min xmas cakes - toadfish help Toadfish - I like the sound of your xmas cakes made in terracotta pots. Do you give them away in the pots as well? I have seen terracotta pots that are glazed on the inside - are these better to use? Thinking of making some for gifts this year. Terracotta pots seem cheaper than those mini springform tins ($10 each!) loubee7 - 2006-09-14 15:12:00 |
| 78 | I have also seen recipes on google for making mini xmas cakes in old baked bean tins!! Has anyone tried this? loubee7 - 2006-09-14 15:13:00 |

| 82 | bumping for anyone who might know of the fruit mince made with banana and other lovely fruit ........... I think I know the basic recipe but I am sure if I make it I will leave out a crucial ingredient............. shula2 - 2006-09-22 21:48:00 |
| 83 | Egg Nog! Can't remember where I found this: 2 Fresh Eggs naked_cyclist - 2006-09-23 06:16:00 |
| 84 | Egg Nog continued 1. Separate eggs into yolks and whites in separate bowls (see below for a how-to). I put the whites into the mixer and the yolks into another bowl. 2. Beat egg-yolks with 1/2 of sugar, set aside. 3. Beat egg-whites until stiff, then mix in other 1/2 of sugar. 4. Poor the yolks into the whites and mix together slowly. 5. Stir in white rum slowly. 6. Stir in milk slowly (see below for dairy intolerance). 7. Stir in whiskey slowly. 8. Stir in 1/2 of cream slowly. 9. Whip rest (1/2) of cream and fold in carefully. Notes on how to fold below. 10. Serve at room temperature by ladling the eggnog into cups and sprinkle nutmeg on the top. Try to get some of the foam and some of the liquid (if not fully mixed) in each cup. naked_cyclist - 2006-09-23 06:19:00 |
| 85 | Apologies for the rough cut & paste above. I lived in the US for three years. During xmas, the milk compny's sold egg nog in 2L milk containers - delicious! Curiously, the low fat egg nog was the best, largely because it had more sugar naked_cyclist - 2006-09-23 06:22:00 |

| 87 | Okay guys I think I've put weight on just reading those, how about something nnot so fattening as well. Or should we eat all the goodies on Christmas day and then diet the rest of the year? shadeemur - 2006-09-23 18:30:00 |
