    5 hours diff. I'll try to remember that. LOL
    It's cooled off just enough to tease us here. It got into the mid sixties for a couple of nights, but the next few are only going to get down to around seventy.(I don't know what that is in C.) Highs today.....low eighties.

    I dried a lot of broccoli this year, curious to see if that's a good way to preserve it (and still semi-tasty later on).

    WW, do you know how to make spotted dick?

    Right, I'm back WW. I'd be interested to know how your dried veg is too, you'll have to let me know.

    Recipe for spotted dick(no smirking)

    There is a small adjustment you'll probably need to make as we have self raising flour over here, so add the reqiured amount of raising agent.

    4oz flour
    4oz fresh white breadcrumbs
    4oz shredded suet(fat from around the kidney) but you can use chilled grated butter or shortening, I know you've a limited cupboard.
    pinch salt
    1/4 pint water
    4oz dried fruit(either currants, sultanas , raisins, or mixture)
    1/4 tsp mixed spice if liked.

    Mix flour, breadcrumbs, raising agents, fat and salt together in a bowl. Add sufficient water to make a soft elastic dough. Roll out to form a rectangle about 6inches by 12 inches. sprinkle over fruit and spice if using. Dampen edges with water and roll up to form a sausage pressing edges together. Wrap loosely in greased tinfoil and steam 1 1/2 hrs.

    You can substitute jam for the fruit to make a jam rolypoly.

    Any questions please ask!

    Thanks so much for the recipe! Will try it out on an appropriately gloomy day that calls for using the wood cookstove.
