"Betty J. - As far as I'm concerned, it's never too early to make a fruitcake! You CAN freeze it (which will actually improve the texture, in my opinion,) but, if you keep it tightly wrapped in an airtight tin at a cool temperature, it will be fine. Especially as you'll have more time to 'feed' it. On the other hand, you could always make one now, to try, and another later for Christmas!"

"Three things: The Devons and Cornish do it both ways, the jam and cream, it just depends on how YOUR Mum or Gran did it; that'll always be considered "The Right Way, Period." I love it however I can get it! Second: If you are having a bit of problem with these marvellous scones NOT rising, then it is probably the self-raising flour. If it's been open MORE than a month or two, the leavening will be 'tired' and you'll need to add a bit of baking powder, like a 5ml teaspoon or two. I actually prefer to use plain flour and add the baking powder myself, that way I KNOW it will work! (And if the baking powder was opened more than 6 months ago, toss it and buy new!) Three: The lady who gave the other recipe at the beginning of the comments section? That's this recipe, just in ounces, not grams ;) Plus, I found sultanas or crystallised ginger was fantastic in this! Now going to try grated orange peel and chocolate chips next!"

"I made this last night using coconut milk instead of moo milk. and using Garam Masala with ground cumin instead of the whole spices. I also didn't bother shredding the carrots (if you're going to stick blend it, why bother?) just chunked them up, let them cook for 5 minutes in the stock, then added half red lentils and half Moong Dahl. Really quick and easy light supper with whole grain bread and my girls (9 & 11) had two bowls each!"
