I also have some mixed nuts that are not a hit with my dining companions. I might be using some of the mixed nuts for Hello Dollies or 7 Layer Bars, and adding some mixed nuts to the Chex Mix.
I also have some chocolate covered salt caramels that are meh, so I’m thinking about chopping those up for some sort of bar. Same with some English toffee I have on hand. Recycling recent purchases!
Our friend is giving us a Xmas Pudding, with whisky sauce, which I am looking forward to. I haven’t tried making one only because we are so lucky to receive hers at Xmas.
For Thanksgiving i made a Quince tart tatin based off a David Lebovitz recipe. Also did a white chocolate apple bread pudding for my brothers family that was in town. Using up ends of homemade bread that had been accumulating
Quince are costing $4 CAD/ $2.89 USD each at my local independent market lately. I haven’t bought any recently, or made anything with quince recently. I traded homegrown potatoes for homegrown quince with a friend in the fall of 2019, which was a great deal for me.
I was making a lot of bread pudding over the summer, experimenting with a couple European recipes.
I really liked this Portuguese Pudim de Pao recipe which has the same flavours as custard tarts.
I also made German Kirschmichel , a bread pudding made with cherries, and Czech Zemlovka aka Semmelbaba (I love etymology, can you tell?), a bread pudding made with apples, which I’ll probably make if I acquire a little too much bread in the house this month.
