Table For Five

The time for leftover ham is upon us, so we’ve put together some Table For Five favourites for you.

I hate wasting food, particularly lovely juicy fruit that can otherwise be saved. Over ripe and excess fruit is great for baking, whether it is used as is, frozen for later or stewed there is no limit to the tasty delights they could create. Don't throw it out, give it a second chance! Freezing your fruit: The good news is that freezing doesn't significantly reduce the nutritional content of fresh fruit and may even help preserve vitamins. Make sure you use airtight containers or ziplock bags. Peels contain added vitamins and minerals in many fruits so whether you peel or not is all down to personal preference and what you intended to use it for. Seeds and pits are more easily removed before freezing. Cutting fruit into smaller chunks will save space in the freezer and time when it comes to using it. Fruits should be deseeded or pitted before stewing or freezing.

When is a rum ball not a rum ball? When there's no rum in it! Fear not, dear Recipe Seeker, these rumballs are rum rich, delicious and extremely messy  easy to make. Choose whichever method works for you, I know which one I prefer.
