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...

Hi Aaartnaz, It is known as a "chiffonade". Wash the lettuce and remove any ribs. Allow to dry or use a salad spinner. Cut the leaves into 5-7 cms/2-3 inches strips in width and cut finely with a knife. A good sharp knife will make an excellent chiffonade for use in Seafood Cocktail a la...

Yup, lots! Creamy tomato soup - might contain milk and cream but should not require an uncomfortable quantity of either and certainly not 3 cups of heavy cream. You are looking at the wrong recipe. How would you like it to taste??? Have you ever tasted a really good.... org***m** tomato...

Try almonds, wanuts, macadamia nuts (expensive) or simply leave them out and add a spoonful/ handful of dried white breadcrumbs at the very last minute to the mix, at the very last minute (fresh or dried) before adding to the cod, prior to cooking. A lot depends upon how you are making the...

So, that will be a lesson learnt? perhaps?maybe?. Check the cooker before jumping into the shower or, don`t leave the cooker on when taking a shower! You were so lucky you didn`t burn the house down! Archiduc

Hi Claire, Rinse well under constant, running, cold water - all vegetagbles to be used in a salad. Place in a scalded salad spinner and spin - but you do this already - any salads should be safe to consume. Go out to a restaurant and have a salad - wow betide you - I wouldn`t do it - You...

Hi Fulljeff and GB, Now, I think I`m right in saying that Chicken Cordon Bleu, in its classic mode would be stuffed chicken (ham and cheese), dipped in egg and breadcrumbs and fried in shallow fat in a frying pan or a sauté pan which could be difficult in a Scout camping experience. For me...

Hi Tzakiel, It could be that your oven when it registers 425F is not at 425f - get an oven termometer and check the internal temperature of your oven. Commercially made frozen puff pastry, thawed and used should work as well as home made. Try placing the dish on a baking sheet that has been...

Hi Fulljeff, Right, I`ve read all the posts - yes, all the alcohol will not be removed on cooking but what are your trying to cook? You have given a ist of ingredients, but not a recipe for the dish you are trying to or hoping to cook! If you gave the recipe telling us where the ingredients...

Hi Chueh, There are 3 distinct types of meringue which might be made. Now, apologies first as I live in the UK and can never rememeber exactly how my sugar terminology translates to US terminology. Perhaps, someone could help me out here - please. Anyway, the three types of meringue are...

Hi JNB, * Red chilli/green chilli - wash thoroughly and dry carefully with kitchen paper, slice or dice, depending upon how you use it and freeze in small amounts - use ice cube trays OR thread with string and place in a well ventilated space and allow to dry and use as needed but reduce the...
