My free rice cooker bit the dust (Aroma brand), so I figured I’d splurge for a Made in Japan model. First cook is in.

Ottolenghi’s “The Sauce” for pasta
To make it, simply layer a kilo of tomatoes in a baking dish. Then add two whole heads of garlic with just the tops cut off. Throw in a few sprigs of thyme or rosemary and 200 ml of olive oil. After 45 minutes in the oven, you have a perfect pasta sauce—without having to chop a single thing.

[Giles]

Will def do that.....

Ottolenghi‘s cherry tomato sauce from Simple is delicious. A little sliced garlic in olive oil, some chilli flakes and smoked paprika and 1 kg of cherry tomatoes cooked down into almost a jam.

Kids keep asking for pizza. This was a 24 hour cold fermentation. Two more in the fridge ready to go. 48-72 hours seems to be best.

Damson jam…..

[Giles]

Half way through making the jam, I went to the shed to fetch the jam jars, to clean and sterilise, which I 100% knew were in there. Of course they weren't. Let's see whether leaving the syrupy jam a couple of days before putting into jars works or not......

[goosehd]

@Giles oof. 1) what happened to the jars? 2) best of luck and do you think you will need to bring them up to full temp again for canning in a few days? Double boil (jars and jam in hot water to disinfect)?
