What do you take to a taster evening? And also how much? Is it finger food ? Will there be forks do you take them? HELP!
i had a taster last week ... i took my homemade syn free pate and homemade syn free chutney and halved some ryvitas to put it on other people took these syn free delights .... falafels, homemade chicken tikka, scan bran meatloaf, curried chickpea loaf, cous cous, quorn curry, mushy pea curry, low syn buns, syn free dips , low syn trifles, salads all in all it was a good buffet
I want to join your group! All sound delicious! Could you put on you pate and chutney recipes please?
chutney
5 lb sliced onions
1litre balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp mustard powder
4 cups of sweetener
salt and pepper
simmer all for 1-2 hrs until its thick stirring occasionally then put in steralized jars (makes loads)
Have you made this adding other veg? Thinking tomatoes as I do like onions but not on their own and I love chutney and pickles, especially picalilli but always have to "pay" for it in Syns.
Oh and i forgot a carton of passata ..... Dont forget to put that in :/
Not made any other but got a picalilly recipe to try soon
Does it taste nice with sweetner though? I hate artificial ones and only use stevia, but i don't cook with it and just syn the sugar as its much nicer - but I haven't tried to make any jams/chutneys with stevia yet.
I am dreading jam season, I make jams by the boxload and I'm always tasting :/
Oh right what are those ones then? might have to look into them but i feel funny using them cos of the chems and stuff in them. plus some of them taste horrible and sugar isn't that high in syns really
If you look on the sweetener it says either aspartime or sucralose on ingredients list i dont use any aspartime as it gives me migranes i even make sure my cordials and fizzy drinks are sucralose ones
