Questions
Gifting mini Christmas puddings without the basins
Is there a way to remove them from the basins, re-wrap and store safely?
Re-freezing leftovers
Hi. I made a moussaka up to the assembling stage. I want to freeze it, then cook it next week, but I know we won't eat all of it and will want to freeze the leftovers again. Can I do this, or should I cook it now, cut it up into portions and freeze those, then defrost and use in portions?
Thanks!
Cooking more that one christmas cake in the same oven
Hi Lindsey,
Is it safe to bake different-sized Christmas cakes in my fan oven at the same time?
I need 1x 9" and 2x 6" cakes and plan to set my oven to 115.
Many thanks,
Sarah
Mince Pie Tin
Could I ask what size you and make of tin you recommend please?
Mincemeat in the slow cooker
I make Delia’s mincemeat recipe every year. Was wondering if I could make it in my slow cooker this year rather than using my oven.
Using carnation caramel instead of sugar in cakes
Hello Lindsey. I've been asked by the family to make a Caramel Apple Cake without heaps of sugar!
I've trawled all of Delia's books and can't find anything close. Do you think if I followed Delia's Chunky Apple Cake and subbed the light soft brown sugar for a 397g tin of carnation caramel I might be on the right track?
Thanks.
