In a jam, pickled, frozen, well preserved and other culinary triumphs

I had not thought of warm salads @Appleblossom have looked up some recipes and there are some really nice looking dishes which I intend to try. Merci beaucoup.

@eth hope you don't mind me tagging you on the carer side. Often for presents I like to give a recipe with ingredients (sometimes non perishables only) using the cooking or serving dish as the basket.

Bit like this:

Following on from Friday feast I think I am going to make some home made caramel sauce and chocolate syrup and put together some 'Banofee meringue' dessert packs.

To keep it easy for the recipients I will team the sauces with some bought meringue cases, cream, a couple of bananas. The people I will give them to don't really need any more serving plates so to keep cost down I might just use a small bbq style foil tray to pack them in.

@Smc @eth

Have just made this choc syrup recipe. When I added the vanilla it tasted more like uncooked cake mix, is cooling now so will see what it turns out like. Do either of you have a recipe?

PS saw another recipe for condensed milk caramel where can was only boiled for an hour.

@Former-Member, sorry, not something I've made myself. The only choc sauce I ever made had cream in it, and as well as being perishable it was kind of invented on the run.

Thanks @Smc now it has cooled it has thickened and I think tastes ok. Might see if someone who will give an honest opinio n will do a taste test for me.

If you want it to remain fluid just use more cream.

Thanks @eth 👍

Choc sauce turned out heaps better than I thought it would and friends gave it the 👍. As I used cacao, it has a slightly bitter taste but I am more than happy to use in gift. I also made a caramel sauce with cream, that passed the taste test but looks like a little has split at the bottom of the jar.

hello @Former-Member , @eth , @Smc , @Appleblossom @jovial
