I’ve contacted my consultant, who is contacting Service people. I’m ringing again today as I’m very annoyed.
Yesterday I made 12 jars of Mandarin jelly. I added Whiskey to the last 4 jars. A friend gave me a bag of small home grown mandarins. They were full of pips and rough looking. I cut them in half and boiled them , when soft, I put through a jelly bag.
Today I’m making Blueberry jam. I’ll use Cranberry juice instead of water. I aim to make my jams with intense flavour.

Chookie that’s not great . The mandarin jelly sounds very nice . I’m attempting to make pomegranate molasses ! Another skinnymixers mediterranean recipe .

I usually make Judy’s recipe for Pomegranite Molasses.  It’s delicious and lasts for ever. https://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=8593.0

Wow cookie that’s so close to Judy’s recipe ( more lemon juice in Judy’s ) . I might try Judy’s next time . Also made marinade for slow roasted lamb (in oven all afternoon! ) . Za’atar spice mix was next ! Might use that tomorrow with cold lamb meat . Muhammara ( roasted red capsicum & walnut dip . Then a spiced carrot salad . All for DS who has come home this arvo for a few days .

Chookie, I have heaps of jars if you need them.  Let me know

Yesterday and today I cooked Broccoli & Cauliflower bake; lentil and chickpea stew; Creamy leek and mushroom pie (but no pie component - pastry and I had a huge break up decades ago and neither of us has forgiven the other so it turned out to be creamy leek and mushroom no-pie); and sweet potato red lentil stew.

Made a batch of Baked Baklava bites . DS can take some up north contract harvesting . They are very filling and you can break a few up like granola and have with milk .

Yum.
Marina, I’m also not good at pastry, yet my DGM was known for her pastry. She is the one who cooked for the Coles family.  And yes I would like your jars but not sure how I’ll get them. Talk to you today.

Over the weekend I have made choc chip cookies, nutella cookies, shortbread, cinnamon shortbread and spinach and ricotta sausage rolls. I still have lemon cupcakes and mushrooms to make later in the week.  A couple of our GD are calling in at the weekend for afternoon tea so I have been making some of their favourite things.
