I just made the Pumpkin Soup from the Thermomix book with a couple of variations so thought I would share them as it was quite tasty and different.
I omitted the carrot and the sugar. I added 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon corainder leaves (dried) and a pinch of cinnamon and cooked it for 1 minute, after I sauted the onion, at speed 1.
I also added about 100ml of low fat evaporated milk to the soup before I served it and partially stirred it through to give it a rippled effect.

Thanks Thermomixer. I did try the  but the machine seemed to clunk, so I put it back on soft. I also tried the MC off and couldn't make up my mind as the fruit absorbs lots of the moisture, so I guess that is an optional thing. My Mum always made this fruit mince so it has memories. (hence the name) It doesn't last long at our house. It is my first adaption of a tried and true recipe. The mixture had a little moisture left in it when I removed it, but the fruit absorbed it as it cooled. We all had it on icecream last night. Loving my thermomix and I think I've persuaded 2 friends to purchase them. (One is to be a Christmas gift from her husband)

Nan's Fruit Mince
Ingredients
1/2 cup dry cider
140g brown sugar
500g tart apples-peeled and cored
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice
pinch cinnamon
125g raisins
65g sultanas
65g currants
30g glace cherries-halved
40g almonds or hazelnuts
grated rind and juice of half an orange
1 tablespoon brandy or rum
1. Chop the almonds on turbo, just pulse them as you don't want almond meal. Remove.
2. Peel and core the apples (you can use them with the peel and core) and cut into chunks. Place in the thermomix on speed 3 for 1-2 seconds. The apple needs to stay in small pieces. Remove.
3. Heat cider and brown sugar for 1 minute on 50 degrees at slow speed.
4. Add all the other ingredients except brandy.
5. Cook on 100 degrees and slow speed, reverse for approximately 20 minutes. You will need to stir the mixture with a spatula a couple of times as the fruit sinks to the bottom. The time may be a little less or more depending on the juice in the apple. You want to cook the mixture until most of the liquid has been absorbed. As suggested by Thermomixer,rehabs put the basket on the lid to help evaporation.
6. Add the brandy and mix for 5 seconds on soft speed.
7. Pour the fruit mince into hot, sterilised jars.
When cool store in the fridge for up to 6 months.
This is delicious in fruit mince pies or over icecream or even stirred through icecream.

Will have to try putting them into a sunny place during our summer Huilink. I am determined to get it right, so will keep trying. At least next winter I can put them on the gas heater if I haven't mastered it by then!

Wow, another place where I can get TMX ideas, thanks Thermomixer. The broad bean and feta dip sounds interesting. Hubby loves broad beans- I may have to try it.

I enjoy reading the posts here and have adapted a couple of recipes using my thermomix but I am very busy using the thermomix. I will endeavour to post the recipes over the weekend. It is quite exciting watching new members come, I was number 90 and have enjoyed watching new names come up since then.
It is an interesting thought that so many TMX's are being bought and used.

I tried this over the weekend, and while it still wasn't really successful it was better than my earlier attempt. It tastes very nice. I put a 200g container of starter into the milk and as said a heaped soup spoon of powdered milk. I poured it into a thermos and left it for 8 hours and then put it in the fridge. At the bottom of the thermos it was quite thick but at the top it was thinner. I will try again and leave it out of the fridge overnight this time. Will keep you posted.
Like Brazen20au I buy my yoghurt in 1kg containers.

Having been unsuccessful with my first lot of yoghurt, I thought I would give this a go. Do you leave the yoghurt in the thermomix overnight to stand or put it into another container?
Thanks

Thanks everyone. I use daughter's computer so will have to speak to her and see what we can do.

Could some clever person help me please? I love this site as I am getting lots of very helpful hints etc, but it is driving me MAD as it is all so slow to load. At least 50% of the time I am on here is waiting. I have nothing else running while I am on here. Thanks in anticipation.

Well........I tried the yoghurt yesterday. I used low fat milk which perhaps wasn't the best idea but that's all we use. The flavour of the yoghurt was lovely but it was fairly thin. I think I will try again with a few modifications to see how I go. Perhaps the milk was still a little hot, although I thought it was cool enough. Will keep you updated! It was a lovely natural yoghurt drink.

Well I now have my Thermomix. We had a fun lunch when it was demonstrated and then I did coffee for the mob. This morning I've made lemon butter (tastes good), yoghurt, (will let you know how that turns out), the vegetable concentrate, and for dinner tonight we're having beef stroganoff. So far so good. I'm slowly learning what things are for, and it's fun.

Thanks Baf65. I live in Canning Vale and I see that there is a Back to Basics class in Applecross later in November. I thought I might try to get to that or one later as I'm sure I'll have lots of questions after I've had the thermomix for a bit.
I'm going to the morning Christmas session. I hope you enjoy the pageant, it was always fun when we used to go.
Will look out for the sessions run by Loose Produce in Como-that's not far away. Thanks.

Me too Baf65. I asked everyone in the family if they'd like to come and they said no!. So I'm going by myself! See it's the same day as the Christmas Pageant, not that it matters to me as my baby is 27.
