I dont like the bought stuff.<br />I too have a 'modern' scale .. it likes in its box on top of the cupboard. My son Richard bought if for when he cooks ... I think he thinks I'm a bit 'unbalanced' still working with my old battered scale!<br /><br />Vicky xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14710224174192867236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-65768940982291728512014-12-15T06:04:00.921-08:002014-12-15T06:04:00.921-08:00Hi Pattypan.

We are on the same wavelength.<br /><br />Smallholder - smelt wonderful too. Marzipan is only ground almonds and sugar really ,so it should go well with the soft fruits.<br /><br />Pat - I'll let you know how good it is when I do the first lot of mince pies.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-89859061487408991642014-12-15T02:35:26.543-08:002014-12-15T02:35:26.543-08:00I must say BB that it looks very yummy.

Think I may have slipped up there. <br /><br /> I think I a going to call you the Mincemeat Queen; remember all those years ago you introduced me to proper home made mincemeat and to the little cookbooks (which I subsequently invested in with all sorts of preserving recipes and main meals. This recipe looks a good one too; thinking out of the box if you bottled your own cherries this would be a lovely recipe to pop up early on as it would give a good few months maturing. I tend to keep marzipan in but it is easily made at home. I also like your recipe for cleaning waxed lemons; I normally soak in warm water and then take a little nail brush to the skins of the fruit and then dry off with tissue, but this fits in nicely with my preference for using natural ingredients i.e. vinegar/ascorbic acid. Lovely post as usual BB. I hope the family are all home with you for Christmas pity we do not live nearer as I think we could end up leading each other astray. Take care Pattypan xxPattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.com
