Cheers Naz, esp for the rhubarb recipe. I've got loads of it on my allotment, I think that makes me a regular guy:-)

[ttfn]

Carrust - you are joking?
I have no receipts that include alcohol.
Alcohol is for drinking, not cooking ☺

[carrust]

I was given 3 bottles of the stuff for Xmas, it's a bit sweet for my taste, so into the rhubarb it goes.

Don't you put wine in your gravy or beer into your stews ttfn?

[DTCwordfan]

Of course you have no receipts for alcohol, ttfn; you drunk the bottles and lost them.

Recipes perhaps...

"tired and emotional," as Private Eye terms it, this evening, perhaps? Lol

[DTCwordfan]

Could suggestion though Naz

[DTCwordfan]

sorry I am now plastered - Good Suggestion...........

I take my sloe gin mixed with bitter lemon, carrust, it is called a Long Pedlar. Makes a nice long drink and it is not sweet ☺ In fact gin is the only spirit I will add mixer to.

Dessert here perhaps

Roasting plums with the gin of their wild sloe cousins is delicious, as this clever recipe demonstrates. You could swap in another sticky drink, such as port or crème de cassis.

Serves 4
Takes 15 minutes to make and 15-20 minutes in the oven

Ingredients
12 plums, halved and stoned
150ml sloe gin (see tip for recipe) or use Gordon's Sloe Gin
Juice of 1 orange, plus a little extra
60g golden caster sugar

Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Put the plums in a large roasting tin, cut side up. Mix the gin and orange juice and pour over the fruit. Sprinkle with the sugar and bake for 15-20 minutes, until tender.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a large dish to cool. Put the roasting tin over a high heat on the hob. Bring to the boil and cook for 3-4 minutes or until reduced and syrupy. Cool, then pour over the cooled plums. Serve with shortbread and ice cream or clotted cream.

Will it work with fresh lemon juice?

This is getting a bit too close to a cocktail for a Northern real ale man.

As correctly pronounced by J P of the Two Fat Ladies fame.
Thank you Mamya ♥
Finish many of your crosswords DT? ;o)

[DTCwordfan]

Most of them and then I open the Gin bottle! (Or usually the wine!)

[ttfn]

I have never tried fresh lemon juice, carrust, tbh. Give the bitter lemon a go and see what you think - I recommend it. In fact there is an unopened bottle of sloe gin winking at me right now. Cheers!

[carrust]

Prost ttfn

[society]

DT, do you cook, bake?

[DTCwordfan]

never heard the term receipt used as a recipe so you live and learn every day....the beauty of crosswords and here!

So I apologise for the receipts in the cooking sense but will still keep the receipts for bottles bit, I think!!!! Lol : )

[DTCwordfan]

I enjoy it a lot - more cooking than baking - make a mean meringue for a Pav.......have a weird sweet tooth. My ex and my eldest daughter are the bakers!b My sister is also good at it and she worked professionally as a lead chef for quite a few years and then cooked for her 'selected clients' - the ones that she liked.

[ttfn]

You are excused and thanked DT x I must confess that when I call them 'receipts' I usually catch someone out ;o)

[DTCwordfan]

She makes her own sloe gin too........personally I find it a little 'medicinal' now an XO Hennessy or Armagnac - or a good mature Calvados and we are talking!!!
