The message
from "pammyT" fenlandfowl @talktalk.net contains these words: "michael adams" wrote in message ... Some people might look on the opportunity to freeze their own produce as a privilege rather a chore. And something worth taking a little trouble over, given that it only takes up a couple of hours a year at the most. And I'd imagine that if they thought otherwise many of them probably wouldn't bother, but would simply buy their stuff in the supermarket instead. So why not conduct an experiment for yourself so that you will *know* instead of believeing everything you read? Bl;anch and freeze some, then freeze unblanched some more? I think it's a case of "I know I'm right, don't confuse me with facts." -- Rusty Emus to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co full-stop uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

writes You may like to try this simple recipe we use for pasta. For a pound or two of tomatoes, half tsp each dried oregano and mixed herbs, pepper, good chicken stock cube or Marigold veg stock powder, pepper, 1 clove garlic. (No onion, which is acid. No salt, either. A trace of ginger or cayenne is nice.) Chop or crush garlic, fry gently in a tablesp oil, without browning _at all_, till it's sort of translucent. Add chopped or pulped tomatoes, bring to the boil; add the other stuff, then simmer gently till you like the look of it. You can scatter a little chopped parsley on top when serving. I always nick out the little core in the top of each tomato, but that's fussy. If necessary, hit the sauce with a potato masher as it cooks. If you want meat, fry a fistful of mince with the garlic, stirring: any bits which stick should be lifted off by the tomatoes. There have been no complaints in thirty years. That sounds like a really good way to use tomatoes Mike, thanks I have printed it out. This year we are growing the wonderful round courgettes (Italian name but can't remember it at the moment) they have grown across two deep beds and down a path and they seem to become small footballs overnight Have used a lot of them with the tomatoes but the natives are getting restive and are suggesting that there must be something I can give them for tea apart from courgettes and tomatoes with something or other janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

writes LOL. I grew those round courgettes this year ( packet name"Eight-ball", but there's probably a much more attractive Italian one) with similar results. 'Tondo Chiaro' I believe they were called, actually a lucky buy. In our Gardening association we sell half sown packets of seeds for 10p so everyone gets to share new varieties and these were in the bottom of the box. I sowed about 8 seed and luckily gave away four of the plants They are very strong growers and fairly prickly which I think gives them the chance to get really going of you don't pick every last one as soon as you see it ! Think the seed packet was from "Real Seeds" Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
