"Delicious. We made this in late Autumn, and have just finished off the last jar from the fridge (in Spring). It lasted really well, was delicious in mince pies, and I really liked the inclusion of the apples and the almonds - made it a bit more special. I also included 100g of cherries in mine, and a little more brandy. I had thought it should keep (unopened) at room temperature, given it is mainly dried fruit and brandy - but I didn't want to risk trying it to find it had gone off, so kept mine in the fridge."

"This was a nice risotto - the combination of leeks and bacon worked well. I used twice as much bacon, substituted one of the leeks with an onion, and added garlic, for extra flavour. "

"This was a fairly tasty way to cook the chicken, but seemed just to have a "curry" type taste, rather than a specifically "Moroccan" taste. We cooked the chicken for a long time, so that the sauce did eventually reduce and looked something like the photo, then cooked the beans separately and added them at the last minute. Nice enough for a mid week easy to prepare dish; but personally I would add more spices. "

"Very tasty. We cooked this as a main course, served with rice, rotis, yoghurt and mango chutney. You really get the flavour of the lime coming through. We did bake 10 minutes longer, as it wasn't cooked through in the suggested 25 minutes."

"@sw77 In reply to your question (as indeed, the milk does seem to be omitted) I have a similar recipe, which for 125g flour uses around 100ml milk (a little more or less, depending on the consistency you want - add a little at a time) to make a batter - you could try it with around 100ml milk. "
