"I already have a great pecan pie recipe but after reading this one I decided to add the bourbon which wasn't an ingredient in my usual one and also made the bourbon cream to go with it (although I didn't freeze it and used double the cream to the other ingredients). Went down a treat. "

"PS - forgot to rate. Also the over ripe fruit wasn't a factor as the plums were the same I used in the jam on their own with sugar whereas the plums in the chutney had the cooking apples with all their pectin to help them. "

"I made this chutney today and it was my first ever go at making chutney. I first made it to the letter and bottled it, not knowing what the consistency should have been, then decided as it cooled that it was far too liquid, so put it all back in a clean pan, washed and sterilised the bottles etc and set about reducing the "chutney". I simmered it for another hour and a half and lost my patience, so turned the heat up so it was boiling away, however the heat was too high and it burnt - what a waste of my day! Will not make again, have never before followed a recipe and failed! The jam I made came out a treat which made me feel slightly better. Wish I had read the website to see it would take longer to set than stated - got the recipe from the mag. "

"I used the meringue recipe from this pie to top another pie I was making. I hadn't used it before and did not read the comments beforehand. I used 2tbsp of cornflour and the meringue couldn't have been better so I'm not sure that it is a mistake. "
