Recipe Requests / Lime Pickles

Hi All, Would anyone have the lime pickle recipe that they could post? Have a glut of limes at the moment and need some recipes to use them up. Thanks Sandy

Chit Chat / Re: Kefir
« on: July 20, 2010, 05:42:04 am »
Cathy 79, Yes I did buy the grains on the net, on e-bay, and I am really enjoying making and drinking it every morning and night, It only take about 1 minute in the morning to pour it into a jug and then  add another litre of milk to the grains for the next batch. Everyone that tries it doesn`t like it much so I suppose that it would be an acquired taste. When I get enough of it I will be trying to make some yoghurt and cheese with it.

I  bought mine on e-bay a couple of weeks ago and have been drinking it morning and  night and so far it has stopped nearly all the sweet cravings so that is great.

Chit Chat / Kefir
« on: June 26, 2010, 02:42:37 am »
Hi All, I was just wondering if there was anyone out there making their own kefir and if there is do you make any sourdough bread with it. And would you have any recipes that you could share with me. I know this hasn`t got any thing to do with thermomix but just thought that I would ask. Thanks Sandy

Recipe Requests / Re: Tapioca Custard like me Mum used to make :)
« on: June 20, 2010, 12:09:10 pm »
1/2 cup tapioca
3 cups whole milk
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla

What I do is heat the milk to nearly boiling and then add the tapioca and salt to the bowl and let it sit for about an hour stirring every so often to stop the tapioca sticking together. Then simmer for about 5 minutes on reverse speed, add the sugar and then keep cooking until the tapioca is soft, beat the eggs and add some of the tapioca to them and then put back into the bowl and cook for about another 2 - 4 minutes until the egg is cooked and the tapioca is thick.

Chit Chat / condensed milk
« on: May 31, 2010, 07:28:01 am »
Hi All, Somewhere on here I have found a recipe for cheap and easy biscuits and in it there was a recipe for condensed milk. But I am buggered if I can find it again, so if anyone knows the recipe for condensed milk I would appreciate it. I know that it had powdered milk, butter and sugar in it but  I don`t know in what quantities.  Thanks for your help. Sandy

It is on LP gas and Maddy that`s a great idea. I will buy a thermometer and see just what temperature  the oven is at. I wonder if a lolly thermometer would work ok or not. Thanks all.

Chit Chat / Changing Ovens
« on: April 30, 2010, 07:42:46 am »
I have just changed over to a gas stove from electric and the oven heat is nothing like the electric one. Has anyone else found that the gas oven hasn`t got the heat of the electric ones?  I tried cooking some bread rolls the other day and instead of cooking them for 30 min or so, I had to cook them for about an hour, with the oven as hot as it would go. Same when trying to cook a cake. Bloody heck. It looks like I made a big boo boo going for gas. Has anyone got any tips that they could share with me about using the oven. Thanks Sandy

Chit Chat / Different Custard
« on: April 20, 2010, 02:28:36 am »
The other day I was reading a recipe for coconut and lime pudding that I could make in the TMX  and at the end it said to make a custard a little bit thicker than normal and then add 250g of sour cream. Well I only had a 300ml carton so I put  the whole lot in and it was the best custard ever. I only made it with custard powder. It turned out really creamy with a slightly tart flavour  that went really well with the little puddings. Has anyone else ever tried doing this??

Chit Chat / Making caramel
« on: April 19, 2010, 07:33:12 am »
Has anyone tried making caramel using a can of condensed milk????  I was wondering if it would turn out the same as boiling it if you just put it into the bowl and cooked it for maybe 12 - 20  minutes with the mc off  and would you still add the butter and golden syrup like you would if you where just cooking it on the stove top. Thanks Sandy

Thanks Meagan, I think that mine is out of warranty because I have had it for about two years now.

Thanks everyone for your concerns. Do I have to see my consultant about this or could I just order new blades because I don`t have a consultant and the nearest one is either the Sunshine Coast or Cairns. There is no one in the Central QLD district any more. I think mine broke when I was trying to grate some chocolate the other day, even though I had broken it up fairly well a piece of it got stuck between the top blades and the side of the bowl.
