"I think my heat was too hot because there was a burnt after taste, but still nice. I would agree with miniminx & add all the ingredients after caramalizing the sugar. Instead of calvados I used brandy."

"I tried this scone recipe & even though I forgot to add the sugar they were fantastic with jam & cream. I made 6 large plain scones & they rose beautifully. My suggestion to why some didn't rise is probably the mixture had been worked too long. Some people roll their mixture out which can stop teh scones rising, I pat mine, cut into equal sizes with a knife then form them into a rounded shape. Food is for experimenting with - don't give up if any recipes don't work out the first time."

"I made raspberry jam, but with 600g of fruit & equal amounts of sugar. Having never made jam before I did feel a little out of my comfort zone - but it was OK, perfect example of a nice simple recipe for any first time preserver! I did worry that the jam wasn't set enough - but I needn't worry it was fine. It tastes really nice on homemade bread - now I'm off to make some scones. x"

"I made this to use some of the many raspberries from my garden. It was absolutely lovely. I will use more digestives next time I make it because I prefer a thicker biscuit base. x"
