I think you should try making the compote, I just chucked the frozen berries into a lidded saucepan and left it bubbling on the lowest hob setting for half an hour or so. I took the lid off for the last 10 mins or so to thicken it up. Tastes just like I'm eating one of those muller fruit corners. Google says there's marginally less nutrients but the same fiber and antioxidants

I eat it at work, there is no place to cook anything beyond microwave, air fryer or toaster. I also need something quick to put together in the morning, if my boss catch me spending 10mins “cooking” during work hours it wouldn’t look great.

I really like it cold anyway and how it taste like ice cream so “melting” it is the opposite of what I want.

Ah, if I wasn't clear I made a kilner jar full and put it in the fridge should last 7 days or so, I didn't eat it warm lol
 
Ok, Easter is over and I need to stop mindless chocolate eating. I’ve got some social events coming up so need to double down in the week to keep things sensible.
 
I went into full cookery mode yesterday and made a pork roast with crackling, cauliflower cheese from scratch and an apple & rhubarb crumble with custard to use up some of the frozen fruit that's been in the freezer for a while. Epic, but I'll need to be good for a bit now :D

I used my leftover Easter Egg to make that Pannettone! I still have loads left!

I am still stuck at 74.4kg

Great looking Panettone @Raymond Lin. Would be interested to try it in our Panasonic machine.

@Karl - absolutely love a roast and hot pudding. A great reminder that food is there to be enjoyed as well!

It looks great, taste good but it is a lot more dense than your store bought panettone. The texture is much closer to cake.

I am tempted to add in some baking powder into it next time to try to introduce more air, or use strong flour. I had only used plain flour this time.

I was gonna say. If your butter intake is like mine then a bit of oil will always be less.

My wife once thought I had cheese because I’d cut slices from the block of butter….
Not having decent spreadable stuff is a nightmare.

I spread it on, it disappears…and I spread on some more…. Before i know it, I use up a chunk of butter that you you’d think could do double the amount of bread.

I can drizzle it on a lot less i feel, plus apparently research shows we should consume like 4 tablespoons spoon of it a day anyway for a healthy heart. So that’s QUITE a lot of it, it gives me a lot of leeway.
 
Nothing wrong with good olive oil on toast, rub a garlic clove on it and ward off atherosclerosis and vampires have a bruschetta! Probably less good with jam though!
