This is divine... and that's the comment from friends, to whom I've given jars of this as a gift.
The addition of the spices - cinnamon, but in particular, the cloves - make this a real delight - and it would work well for a Christmas gift. I have had one person tell me that it makes an excellent glaze for their roast. I think there's a compliment in that concept somewhere, but I'm not sure!
The recipe calls for 800g of JAM sugar - and as I didn't have that, I used about 25g of Jamsetta (powdered pectin) to the suggested weight of sugar, which was either white or raw, or probably a mix (dependent on pantry's provisions!).
One of the reasons that I prefer this recipe to the one in the EDC (which I haven't made, only read), is that this one only needs 12 minutes of cooking time.
I will be making this recipe again - it's delicious!

This is an extremely easy jam - in fact it was my first, teach yourself, jam experiment, and it worked brilliantly.
It was also very tasty! But as you can see below, I actually used frozen berries.
My notes on the recipe show:
1. Used 10g of Jamsetta to c.+/- 300g of fruit; frozen strawberries in microwave to defrost first. V. sweet! V. good!
2. With frozen fruit, add at least another two minutes to cooking time.
Please note that this recipe only takes 12 minutes, with the suggestion that you check the gelling, and if need be, add an extra couple of minutes until it's done.
Bloddy brilliant!! ;-)

This is an easy, tasty and very simple jam that is great as it uses 'everyday' fruit in the fruitbowl.
It looks lovely - a tasty green colour with cute little black bits throughout!
It makes a great gift!
I have notes on my recipe that state:
2x kiwi fruit
2x apple
&c 20g jamsetta (purchased pectin powder)
=> v. tasty but broke jar!
So - make sure you sterilise your jars, and then keep them warm as you fill them up!! It was heartrending to see the jam in the broken jar...
NB jamsetta = purchased pectin powder

Again, for me, another excellent recipe from this cookbook.
I do vary the recipe according to my guests - some prefer a more liquid mash (what I would call 'Kartoffelbrei') and then I follow the liquid components; my husband however prefers firmer mash, and so I tend to leave out the stock liquid... and just use the quantity of milk given.
I have done the recipe without using the butterfly - it's a rather lumpy delight - but it's still lovely.
So - for a simple mash - there are various options!!

This is LOVELY!!!
It's sort of similar to Ikea's cinnamon rolls... but (depending on my rolling and cutting) better...
I don't always use the green cardamom pods - I sometimes take a shortcut and use cardamom powder, but originally I used the recipe to loosen the black seeds from the husks. I however, upped the speed from 4 to 6 for this.
I usually use plain flour rather than strong white bread flour - dependent on what's in the pantry! Both seem good!
I also sometimes cut the raw dough to make individual rolls (roll ups, really) rather than leave it as a pull apart loaf.

I made this, this afternoon, for my daughters... and we used three nectarines, some store-bought vanilla ice-cream, and A2 full cream milk... as per the recipe... but we didn't have the straws for serving.
Despite the fact that my children were less than appreciative of the nectarines... (mad, I know!)... they loved this!!! As did I!!!
However, upon reflection, we would reduce the sugar - I found it very sweet, and was agreed with by the wee ones - but they still liked it! I think the purchased ice-cream was very sweet!
It's more liquid than what I would say a smoothie is, but it was lovely.
Give it a go!

I agree - I did it recently, but substituted a bit of 'authentic' chilli in a jar (just chilli apparently), as I don't usually have them to hand in the kitchen... I think I probably could have added more, or would have preferred a real chilli...
another bit of advice I was given by one of my guests was to keep the avocado stone and pop it in the middle of the guacamole... apparently it helps prevent the avo from browning... admittedly this was advised AFTER the stone had been disposed of!
and lastly - despite having been out for a while and then overnight in the fridge and somewhat browned, it *still* tasted yummy the next day....
so a thumbs up from me too!

Denise - thank you for letting me know - extra traction to get me trying it out... Now I just have to work out what to do re writing a review (or multiple ones) as per Judy's suggestion!!! ;-) Gillian x Gillian I've made the Kassler Pork.We loved it.I even made the soup that is suggested in the book with the leftovers.
The Cherry and Almond cake is wonderful,but be warned it makes a huge cake.
I'll have to go through the book and see what I've made too.

Dear Judy
OMG - I haven't added my tupp'orth into this thread...
This was the first - the VERY first - dish that my mother and I made in her brand new thermomix... and it was just delicious... and all the visitors (there were lots... we don't get back to the UK that often, so we'd invited them all to lunch at my mother's not long after we arrived) loved this dish.
Tasty, unusual (to me!), easy to make, just a brilliant dish.
Thank you....
Gillian
