Questions
Pavlova Perfection!
I am making a Pavlova. When the recipe says to leave the meringue in the oven after cooking, is this with the door open or closed? Thank you.
About spreadable butter!
New updated recipe says we can now use spreadable butter. Should this be unsalted butter
Grainy mincemeat
I have made Delia’s mincemeat recipe for years, omitting the nuts. Yesterday I made it again and it seems ‘grainy’ on the palette . Over the years I have found it difficult to source mixed candied peel so substitute normal mixed peel. I will not use I his batch and have now ordered candied fruit from Country Products to attempt another batch. Do you have any suggestions as to what the problem could be ?????
Many thanks
Margaret
Mincemeat jars and the wax discs
I am looking to make Delia's mincemeat. She says to use 350ml jars. I have found a set by kilner. She also says to top the mincemeat with wax discs - what size wax discs will I need, or how do I work it out? Many thanks
