To my new followers:
Lisa, Deb Cameron, the Mrs, Quinn and Mrs Linee...Welcome to my blog! Happy reading...
For those who know me and have been following my blog...it's usually pretty crazy around this neck of the woods..for there is always something going on....
On Wednesday, I invited you to a bake-a-long and explained how to gather your tins...and yesterday I had them On My Mind... and told you that I would be making them..today...so yeah, I guess they have been on my mind a bit....
Getting an early start yesterday, I thought maybe I would have enough energy to see them through....but nope...too much in the garden AGAIN..(Wait 'till you see what I've been upto)......I had a head-start and thought I would have enough energy to make them yesterday, and so I done the soak....(which I later put in the fridge to begin again today)
1. In 3 separate bowls put………..
Now gather all the fruits and nuts that you would like to include...and as you count the cups...keep a record......The smaller fruits will go straight into the bowl...The larger fruits and nuts will need to be chopped, but I just put them in the whizzer separately...
All up; if you are making 1 batch..you will need 6 cups of mixed fruit and nuts.
As I am making 2 batches, I will need 12 cups of mixed fruit and nuts.
3. Once you have all the fruit and nuts gathered and prepared....
add 2 cups to each bag.....
Centre: 2 cups of mixed fruit and nuts added to dry mix |
These are my hints on making a big batch...I hope they help you...I have tried to get this down to a fine art...and cut a lot of time off the preparation......After you make these...and you EAT these....I know you will be making more......so you may as well prepare 6 bags.
If you do decide to make them, I'd love to hear about it....come back and tell me how you went.
Here's hoping everyone has a wonderful weekend, filled with lots of fun and laughter...because laughter is the best medicine of all.......take care...I'll be back soon. (more than likely Monday..lol)
These rolls look yum, and rather healthy.
ReplyDeleteLove what you have done with the photos! :)
Gooseberry Jam: Thanks, I always try to add photo's to my posts...I think it makes for a clearer explanation too....
ReplyDeleteThey ARE very healthy for you...and very yummy too.....once family knows I have them in the freezer..they will be asking for them again.
Been making these for 65 years.always yummy,only difference (double triple etc.) all goes in my giant bowl except flour & bicarb that goes in after 24hrs.soaking.dates and walnuts are my favourite .
