Hi JoMama, Yes, it can be frozen. Once opened, a can of fruit does not have any special protection from spoilage as the medium which gave the fruit protection, namely canning has been destroyed. the sugar content of the syrup may give a few days protection if the excess product is stored at...

Hi Mandy, I am so sorry to hear about your cousin`s death. However, never believe that he did not have time to do anything. He lived a life, albeit short. He taught you and your Aunt what an angel might be like - his smile, his laugh, the impish sense of humour, how to kick a ball HIS was or...

Hi Mandymoore, Well, what you made cannot be termed, by any stretch of the imagination, an IRISH STEW. It might have been a stew and very delicious, but by no stretch of the imagination can you call it an IRISH STEW. An IRISH STEW contains LAMB - not a piece of steak and NO, you cannot omit...

Hi Apswife, IMHO, the medical team in charge of your husband`s care have a moral, if not a legal responsibility (maybe also a fiduciary responsibility), to advise you about your husband`s diet prior to any operation and post operatively. Post-operatively may be whilst in hospital, first few...

Carefully wash and dry on kitchen paper. Open freeze - this is to say, place on plastic trays with space between each berry. Place the trays in the freezer uncovered/unwrapped. When the berries are frozen, repack in amount/weights that you will use and that make sense to you and how you will use...

Hi NZDoug, It may be both of you or neither of you! I live in Edinburgh, Scotland. The "hot water" tap is from my water tank which stores water. I can switch on my immersion heater and let it heat up, use the water, let the residue cool down and heat up again every day. If I don`t heat up...

Mmmm - go fishing, catch the fish, count them up and then, THROW THEM BACK into the dirty, murky and mucky water! If you would not drink the water in which the fish swim, then why eat the fish from the water that you would not drink? After all, what do you think passes through the gills and...

Hi Kim and Krysten, And what work have the pair of you done in response to the assignment? What have you found out. I susbscirbe to other food sites and on all of these, we get requests from students for us to do their work for them. The general consensus is that posters are not "here" to do...

Hi Vermin8, A 15.5 oz can of beans will not contain 15.5 oz of white beans. What is the drained weight? You will find that it is less - probably about 12 oz which is about 6 oz of dried beans before re-hydrating (soaking and cooking). Usually, dry beans which require re-hydration (soaking in...

Hi Melinda, In the UK, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) adivses against making and distributing chili/chille/chilie oil because of the risk of botulism. Check out the FSA site. Re. the ganache, I would never make this and give to others as I don``t know how they would store it whilst...

Hi Cooksie, TBH, I can`t tell you as I live in the UK. However, Oxtail is a classic stew or casserole or slow cooked dish in the UK. They are the jointed tails from beef cattle. they require to be cooked slowly so a dutch oven or a crock port or a slow cooker is perfect. Season with crushed...
