I'd feed it for a couple more days,  equal amounts of filtered water and flour.    Always leave 1/2 cup in the bottom of the jar after you have used it,  and start feeding again.    Always leave mixture for 7 to 8 hours after feeding,  before using.

Condiments and Sauces / Bess's Tomato Sauce
« on: March 29, 2010, 11:42:03 am »
Made with home grown cherry tomatoes, (seeds from Diggers),  this is the most full flavored sauce you can imagine.   There is no onion so it will keep well. 




1 k. tomatoes.
1 teaspoon each,ground  cloves, black pepper,  ground ginger ,( or 2 teaspoons of fresh grated ginger)
2 teaspoons of mixed spice
2 cloves of garlic ,  crushed
Pinch Cayanne
6g. salt
120g. white wine vinegar
200g. raw sugar

Place all ingredients except sugar, in bowl and cook for 30 mins., 100, speed 2, cup out.

Add sugar,  cook for 60 mins., 100 speed 1,  cup out.

Zap,  holding cloth over lid, turning dial from 1 to 10 for 1 min.

Bottle into sterilized jars.

This makes ,  in volume,  1/2 of what you start with.

JulieO, glad you liked the soup,  lovely photo as usual,   keep up the good work inspiring us.

JD<  you could reduce the liquid,  so as to replase tinned soup.  Just watch that it does't catch.

Tebasaile,  so glad to see you experimenting with this recipe,  and having great success.  Thought I might add some mushrooms and red peppers to the next one.

Karen, sounds like a social / behavioral problem to me, manifesting itself as an  eating problem.    Does he have a special friend that you could invite home to try and build some peer support at school?
Is there some thing that he enjoys doing that you could concentrate on ?
Could the school give him some special task at lunch time to remove him from the school yard,  and perhaps bulling ?

I feel for both of you,   and there are some good ideas in these posts.

Welcome Wendy,  hope you enjoy the Forum.

Cathy,  made this today.  Very easy and very chocolaty. Thank you.  The top lifted up above the mass of cake, (probably because I put it in a round tin),  so cut it off and covered it in cream and raspberries and ate it for afternoon tea. ;D ;D ;D   Tomorrow it will be a birthday cake,
