Sounds yummy! That is exactly how my mother-in-law makes scones. She doesn't like fiddling around with cooking too long either.

We love this meal - nobody minds the steamed meatball - can't even notice with sauce over the top.

They need a pretty hot oven - just keep an eye on them and take them out a little earlier. Did you brush with milk?? If you did - don't do it next time (if you don't like them as brown)??

Another thing I always do when baking scones (apart from brewing a fresh pot of tea with REAL leaves) is wrap them in a clean teatowel as soon as removing them from the oven. By trapping the steam inside the towel it keeps them hot and fresh for longer and also makes for a softer crust .

The amounts mentioned with the * is what you substitute. After soaking the 100g dried apricots add with the water they soaked in and the sugar to the eggs, butter and lemon.

Introduce Yourself / Re: Hello and Help with Lime Relish« on: November 21, 2011, 01:45:32 am »
Hello and welcome rjsj. When making citrus jams and chutney so I have the zest without pith I peel skin with potato peeler (so as to get none of the white pith) and give it a whiz in TMX to make the zest than I cut all the white from the flesh - this eliminates all the bitter taste.
