oooh-please give us the recipe for your mum's tablet maggiebee, if you don't mind sharing it of course. Mine always tastes of condensed milk :0( -rosy

[boxtops]

mally, I'm not mamya, but yes, I cook the meatballs first, then reheat them in the sauce before adding to the pasta.

[boxtops]

rosy, this is the recipe my neice uses:


Tablet:

Ingredients:

Butter - half pound (225g)
Sweetened condensed milk - one pound (450g)
Castor sugar - 4 pounds (1.8kg)
Water - 1 pint (half litre)

Method
Using a non-stick pan, put the water on a low heat and melt in the butter. Add the sugar and bring to the boil. It is important to keep stirring all the time. Once it is boiling, stir in the condensed milk and simmer for 20 minutes. Again, keep stirring to avoid it sticking/burning. Take off the heat and beat vigorously for five minutes. Pour into a rectangular greased tin and once it is partly cooled, cut into bars. Once the tablet is cold, wrap the bars in waxed paper and store in an airtight jar or tin.

Yes Mally I do. Brown off the meatballs with diced onion and garlic then add the sauce and simmer a short while.

Thank you for that boxtops, I will give it a go, maybe with half the ingredients to begin with. I just love it and always buy it when I am in Scotland. Is Scottish different then, do you know? -rosy

No but we did have an exceptionally nice full English Breakfast at Aberystwyth and tonight we are going to our favourite eating house for a rib eye steak with a very large helping of Mövenpick ice cream for desert :-)

[boxtops]

I've only ever seen it in Scotland, rosy, and (although I'm not) I am surrounded with Scottish in-laws :-)

Does pouring a glass of water count?

I haven't eaten yet but am thinking about what to have for supper now.

[pastafreak]

Crispy pancetta and cheesy scrambled eggs for brunch,a baby avocado and some homemade Mayo as a late lunch...and belly pork in the slow cooker for dinner...will add spinach and grilled tomatoes to that.

[dunnitall]

Rarely cook during the day but will soon be cooking sautè potatoes with onions to go with cold meat.

[viv38]

Turkey meatballs and chips for tea !

[viv38]
