Cooking Tonight #5

[greenishfing]

Pudding has changed again. We're now having posset. I've never made it before but came across a recipe for tangerine posset. I made it with clementines instead. It tastes lovely. I've put it in the fridge now so I just hope that it sets.

Nicos, what does nettle soup taste like?

Funnily enough….green bit like spinach but less strong.

No cooking for me tonight as we're off up the valley for supper. Mind you, I'm on big lunch duty tomorrow.

A quick consultation: I like prunes in wine but not sure how appealing others would find them. Any views?

[Florence Fennel]

Not a fan Snoop Puss - I'm afraid I associate them with my late Outlaws and constipation

[Bren In Pots]

I like prunes Snoop but haven’t tried them in wine, do like them with custard though.

I used to love them at school dinners, and go back for seconds, and even thirds, but nowadays, No. Maybe I should try them in wine though.

[Snoop Puss]

Anyone who likes prunes but has never cooked them in red wine... you're in for a treat. Bit of cream or Greek yogurt. Really good.

Sorry you don't like them, Flo. They do have a bit of a reputation, I agree.

Might make some anyway, but the special request for tomorrow is custards (creme caramels without the caramel).

Evening!
I absolutely love prunes. Never tried them in red wine…I should give them a go. Have to say though that I don’t like pears in red wine.
Do you add spices like in mulled wine Snoop?
