RECIPE: Does anyone make their own mincemeat anymore?
Comments (29)I am sad, or am I glad, to see that Dicken posted to this thread. He died last Thursday. He was a gentle spirit and a wonderful writer. We'll miss him at the Garden Party. Here's a recipe I got from Sara the Brit, she frequents the Garden Party. I wish I could say I had made it, but alas, the ease of the Crosswell jar beckoned... Dear Sylvia Here's the recipe I've been using for the last couple of years. it's fairly variable - you can leave out the nuts, add different ones, change the proportions of the fruit, to suit your own tastes. It really benefits from at least 2 weeks maturing, so you don't have to make it now if you don't feel like it. alternatively, the first year I made far too much, and it kept superbly until the following Christmas! (although it depends on how hot your summer is, I suspect). half pound, peeled finely chopped apples (I use Granny Smiths) 4 oz shredded suet or melted butter (I use butter - suet is traditional, but not used in the UK these days) 4 oz golden raisins (probably about 2/3 cup?) 6 oz raisins 4 oz chopped mixed peel (the lemon and citron stuff is best) 6 oz soft dark brown sugar (3/4 cup) grated rind and juice of 1 orange grated rind and juice of 1 lemon quarter teaspoon cinnamon quarter teaspoon allspice quarter teaspoon ground nutmeg 3 tablespoons brandy Mix everything, except the brandy, together and stir well. Leave it covered for 12 hours or overnight. To prevent fermentaiton, leave it in a cool oven 225F/120C for 3 hours. Allow to cool completely and add the brandy. Spoon into clean dry jars and seal. Don't worry if the butter separates slightly on the top - just stir it again before baking it into pastry. Makes approx. 3lbs - about 1 large mason jar. Happy cooking - and have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Best wishes Sara Sylvia wrote: > [This message originated at GardenWeb] > > Hi Sara - I would *love* a copy of your mincemeat recipe!

Comments (86)So we've had the Orminge for about a month, and it's fine! About what I would expect from a range at this price point. Some things to maybe bear in mind. IKEA don't necessarily do the same home delivery/old appliance removal thing that regular appliance stores do, so figure out if you can handle that side of things yourself. We picked it up ourselves and put it in the back of our SUV, but it is very heavy! If I was to do it again, I would probably have paid the $39 for home delivery instead. You're *supposed* to keep it upright for transportation. The manual appears to be a reformatted version of the Blomberg manual which is an atrocious translation from... I don't know what language. Far worse than I would expect from an automatic translation, so I'm guessing someone with poor English manually translated it. Still, you can pretty much figure out what's going on. The cooktop works well; like most of these ranges it's controlled by touch-sensitive controls on the cooktop itself. So lots of fingerprints. We seem to get slightly better performance from stainless steel and cast iron pans; the induction-compatible aluminum pans we have seem to need a higher heat setting than I'd expect. The oven is fine too. Although I think one of the stickers on the temperature control knob was placed a bit off, which given that it's an analog control, is a bit poor. Could probably get it replaced, but we'll probably just live with it. So, it's nothing spectacular but finally something at a reasonable price! Certainly here in Canada it's the only option for anyone not wanting to pay a premium....See MoreDoes anyone make narrow shoes anymore?
Comments (62)I originally started this post 6 years ago. I am sorry this is still an issue for so many. I believe it has gotten even worse. Unfortunately, the design world does not make shoes for everyone. In my opinion, if a company decided to make stylish shoes in different widths and sizes that were midlevel priced, they would have a profitable business. I am sure it wouldn't be as profitable as others but there is money to be made. In six years I have bought several pairs of running sneakers, a pair of blue oxfords, and a lovely penny loafer from Trotters. Only the penny loafers are narrow. If I had access to stylish not frumpy choices I would have bought more. My 10-year-old black trouser flats with a rubber sole have split across the bottom of the ball of the foot. The leather still looks brand new. My amazing shoemaker said it was $60 to replace the soles and I should just buy new shoes. Well, I am replacing the soles as I can't find anything that fits and I like. Everyone has struggles and in the scheme of things, this is annoying but not life-threatening....See MoreDoes Anyone Make Prefabricated Wood Walls for Raised Beds?
Comments (20)I have been given opinions about both of those issues. I want a definitive diagnosis about what disease my plants have, if any. Every person who has looked at it gives me a different story. Some say it is a lethal disease. Some say it is malnourished and needs fertilizer. Others say it needs mulching. Regarding transplanting, many people express concern about whether that will harm the plants. The main thing for me though is why bother to transplant them if I do not even know what soil they will flourish in. So a better first step for me will be to do some soil experiments in side by side raised bed, using the same plants, and different soils. Once I know which soil works for those plants, I can think about transplanting the existing ones if they are still not thriving (and do not have a lethal disease)....See More- 7 years agolast modified: 7 years ago
