Hi Judy, thanks for the reply. My oven does run true to temp, plus or minus 2 degrees. I have checked it with an oven thermometer and my husband has a fancy commercial gizmo that tells the exact temperature.

 I am puzzled because the glossary at the front of the book states that oven temperatures are given for fan forced ovens. I don't think I ever read that part of the book before, so I am thinking that the last couple of times I have made  this recipe I assumed the temperature referred to a conventional oven, and thus reduced the stated temp by 20 degrees. I guess a lot of bakers would have done the same because most recipes refer to conventional temperatures if it is not specifically stated.

Anyhow I have made a note on my recipe so I don't forget next time. Thanks again, I will check out your link later. Guests will arrive shortly.

Has anyone made the Red Onion Relish on page 47?

I'm looking at the method, and it's just put it all in and cook - but that means the onions are still in quarters, the apple isn't peeled and is quartered, the dried apricots are whole...  I realise all the ingredients do soften mush down a bit as they cook, but I would have expected some chopping/pulsing either at the start or end.

Thank you, I hadn't seen that.  Have now, I'm obviously not alone in thinking it needs chopping.  :-)
