1st crack the hard shell with a meat mallet and whats inside is very easy to grate, i never knew that it had a soft center

Yesterday afternoon I made a boiled Fruit Cake using the thermomix and the Dream Pot. It turned out beautifully.

I didn't know that either Uni. I just grate what I need. It would be useful when you need a teaspoon or more of nutmeg.

The fruit cake looks lovely.


Today I am making pies in the Sunbeam pie maker using Chicken and vegetable pie filling from the recipe community.

Lovely cake Cookie, nice with a cuppa. 

I tried Fundj's method of hitting the nutmeg then grating.  It makes the job much quicker, will use from now on.

Made my lime marmalade after all the advice I received from here a few days ago; actually it was 5 fruit marmalade and I just love it. I used 2 oranges, 2 limes, 1 lemon, 1 mandarin and 1 green apple and 400 gr sugar instead of 800 like the EDC; used the EDC method. I just cooked it a few more minutes and was very pleased. Thanks for all the help.

Cookie what recipe does DH use for his creamed rice. I have just made your little steamed puddings in the Varoma and they look great. Custard cooking at this moment.

Troupie he made another one this afternoon. He uses 1 litre milk, 50g sugar cooks this for 8 minutes at 100 degrees. He then adds 220g medium grain rice and cooks it at 90 degrees for 30 minutes. Speed 2 for both. It's in one of the books. We have reduced the sugar quite a lot but it is sweet enough for us.

I'm pleased you made the steamed puddings. I'm thinking of making an apple sponge in the Varoma while we are up here.
