Hi Sarah Mmmmmm pork with apple sauce! I always cook pork slowly (160 degress). I plonk it in a roasting dish with a couple cms of water in the bottom. (Helps keep it moist). I then have to work out how long to cook it for. 30-40 mins per 500g approx. They usually take a couple of hours. Hope this helps Jo

Sarah - I cut the fat off and put the meat in the crock pot which does take all day but is soooo tender. Then just before dinner I put the 'soon to be crackling' on an oven tray and make cuts in it. Mix together a little oil, salt and either tiny bit of lemon jucie or anything else acidic and then massage into the cuts. Cook on really really high until crackled. Keep a really close eye on it cos it can cook really fast. P.S if you don't have a crock pot, put the meat in the oven at about 150 for at least 4 hours but make sure you cover it with tinfoil to stop it from drying out. I would still cut most of the fat off but leave a thin layer to keep the meat moist. Also I have a friend who is a top chief and teacher of cookery and he totally recomends using watties apple baby food as your apple sauce (here I was thinking that i was being cheap using baby food!!)

Hey there, Does anyone have a gingerbread loaf recipe??

I have an awesome Gingerbread recipe - just have to grab my recipe book from Blossom

oops! Sorry Deb, you'll get your recipe book back, I promise! I'm making the meatloaf for tonight's dinner!....

lol I cant believe im actually posting on here, I usually cant bake for peanuts but I must have refined my culinary skills as of late. here is a fail safe pavlova recipe: turn oven 180 deg celcius, and make sure it is up to heat. -5 egg whites -5 Tblspn cold water -1 1/2 C Castor sugar -5 tspn cornflour (leveled) -1 1/2 tspns brown malt vinegar -small tsp vanilla essence beat egg whites untill stiff with an electic beater, add water, beat till stiff. gradually beat in sugar, add cornflour, vinegar and Vanilla. then beat lightly. cover an oven tray with baking paper or tinfoil. spoon mixture onto tray, making into a circular cake shape, dont spread it out too thinly you want it to be quite thick still. bake in overn for 10-15mins (untill starts to go goldenish) then turn off oven and leave pav in it for an hour. remove from oven cool and serve with cream and fruit..yum yum for xmas. easy peasy nachos -1 tin of watties chilli beans -I packet of taco seasoning -500g mince -1 onion chopped - 1 clove garlic crushed - a sprinkle of chilli powder if you like it hot fry onion and garlic in a pan, add mince fry till brown, drain off excess oil, add chilli beans and seasoning cook for a further 5-10mins. sprinkle with grated cheese and serve with sour cream and corn chips (jalapeno flavour are the best) this is the quickest and yummiest meal I know. and Cade loooves it..well the chips anyway.

Nic, this is the gingerbread recipe I've recently rediscovered. It's quite large - I make one cake and one loaf, but you could make 3 loaves (if you have enough tins!). Freezes really well, too. 1 C golden syrup 1 C butter (6 oz) 3 C flour 1 C sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp ground ginger 2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp mixed spice 1 C milk 2 well beaten eggs Melt syrup and butter. Mix in dry ingredients. Add milk and eggs. Bake around 1 hour at 300F/150C

Yum! Thanks Maggie I will definitely try it out. It sounds like a nice easy recipe too.

does anyone have a recipe for those yummy chocolate clump thingies made from ricies? sorry don't know their real name just know that they're yummy! I normally only ever get them from school galas and they are in the litlle patty pans...help!

buy a thing of kremelta, which is needed, the receipe is on the side of the container, chocolate crackles mmm yummy

heya. oooh yummy chocolate crackles.I made them once without the kremalta and they have never tasted soo good. I got my favourite chocolate melted it in the microwave mixed it with ricies and spooned onto a tray then cooled in the refrigerator. this also is super yummy with cornflakes instead of ricies. I still love those kremalta crackle too tho, the taste has soo many childhood memories
