A stone was mentioned here though I don't see why you really need one. I plan to make savoury pretzels and quite small.

Ooh, this one doesn't use too many lemons. My new lemon tree is only little and hasn't started producing fruit yet, so I have to beg, borrow, buy or steal my lemons.

I've never been a fan of marmalades but I may give this a go. It sounds interesting. I should imagine the taste would be rather nice.

All these flavours sound lovely. I love sweet pastes but the rest of the family turn up their noses. I could do some for the festive season visitors though.

Lots of clever thoughts ILB. I was like Judy and thought of the chocolate baskets with it in. I may stun my brother with that one. Strawberries soaked in booze in the base and foam on top. Thanks.

Thanks TMXer. Yes you can add any of those, even glace fruit would give a different flavour.

Usually DH are impressed if they see the demo. Are there any other consultants up there? If not you could do well selling them.
Wait until he tastes sorbet after a hot day at work.
I know of one DH who was impressed that his wife could sit and chat with him when he got home from work as the meal was cooking in the TMX.
Good luck.

Good on you Gretchen. ;D  Mine was a melanoma and it has been nearly 3 years. Not as spooky as breast cancer though. In fact I'm off for my check up next week. Do you still have checks after 15 years?

Hi and a big enormous welcome Chookie. :-* :-* I thought you were describing me for a minute, although I haven't been off to  food demos in Tassie. (would love to though) Like you I adore bread making and would love to hear your adaptions. I've been cooking since I was knee high to a grasshopper-that was from having a mother who loved to cook and taught me well. I'm hopeless on the computer and have..............cookbooks (I'm too scared to say). I still love to buy and receive new ones though. I now look at them through TMX eyes.   You have a couple of years on me though.

It is lovely to have you here and I love your recipes. Thermomixer and Judy are lovely people.

Welcome Pandateddy. Where are you from?  I agree with you and your sister, you just have to have a machine.  It will inspire your cooking.

2 tablespoons rum

Method
Blitz the sugar to make icing sugar and scrape the bowl down.
Combine all of the other ingredients except the extra milk and extra coconut and mixed fruit. Speed 4/5 for 20 seconds. If the mixture is too firm add the milk.
Add the mixed fruit, Reverse, speed 2 for 10 seconds.
If mixture is soft place in the fridge until it firms up.

Refrigerate.

Tweaking
You can add any extra you like to these. eg cinnamon or ginger.

sue purrb - I misread the recipe and added the mixed fruit before it got whizzed up but I really liked the texture so would probably do it that way again. I also reduced the sugar to about 120g and was very liberal with the rum. They were delicious! 
I have also blitzed the zest of an orange with the sugar and used Cointreau instead of rum. I reduced the sugar again and again blitzed the fruit so they were almost smooth. I also rolled the balls in dark drinking chocolate powder instead of coconut. Now I can't decide which way I like them the best!
