Hi all, just got my thermie a couple of weeks ago and have been using it more and more often. Today was "preserves" day and I sterilized heaps of jars. I made nutella, peanut butter, marmalade, lemon butter and strawberry jam. Poor thermie had a good workout.
My last strawberry jam is now a "dessert sauce" as it was so runny so I cooked this lot for longer and it's perfect! I don't actually like strawberry jam as a rule but I could eat this stuff by the spoonful. Strawberries are so cheap and yummy at the moment, I'm going to get more and do up a whole lot of jars to keep.
The marmalade went everywhere, all over the thermie, the splashback, the bench, the recipe book EVERYWHERE. I've cleaned everything a few times but we keep finding sticky spots lol. And I had to cook it for a lot longer than the book said to but we got there in the end. Not as tart as I would've liked but still good.
DH was very impressed with the peanut butter and nutella too. The texture is just like the real thing!
Question to you all, what do you do with the egg whites left over from yolk only recipes. I was making meringues but don't think it's good for the hips to have meringues every week.
I'm really enjoying hearing about all your adventures with thermie!
