Questions
Quick and easy Christmas
Hi Lindsay, on Christmas Day I need a beautiful Christmas dinner that is quick and easy to cook. I only have one day off and would like to be able to have enough of the same meal for Boxing Day and reheat it. What could you suggest - I’m tempted to get everything from Sainsbury’s and put it in the microwave but cooking something is more festive. Thank you, Tracie
Making a smaller Christmas Pudding
Hi Lindsey, if I halve the Christmas pudding recipe what size basin should I cook it in and for how long please?
Separated mincemeat
Hi Lindsey,
I filled several jars of Delia's lovely mincemeat. Though a few days later I have realised that I had not filled them enough and the juice has sunk to the bottom and there is empty space at the top of the jar. Have I ruined my mincemeat in not filling up my jars?
Thanks!
Using an ice cream maker to make Iced Christmas pudding
Hi Lindsey,
A question about the Iced Christmas Pudding With Glacé Fruits.
Is it possible that you could freeze this in an ice cream machine and then transfer it to the bowl and thereby avoid having to stir the mix after seven hours?
Thanks
Nick
