As you would have to use fruit that is firm and not too juicy you would have little choice.
You could try slightly underipe bananas or chunks of pineapple. I can't think of any other fruit that is firm and
doesn't grow on a tree !

Seedless grapes would work well with toffee !

Toffee grapes sounds like fun! They grow on trees but I'm not allergic to them Pineapple sounds a bit gross, but a good idea in terms of texture. Thanks Shyvas!

It's been donkey years since I had a toffee apple. I used to love them when I was a fair and it was part of the fun.

I was going to make toffee apples... and then I remembered I'm allergic to apples (can't believe I forgot). I am allergic to most fruits that grow on trees (when raw)... are there any other fruits that might taste nice toffee'd, ones I could maybe eat? Banana might taste nice but I'm not sure if it's too soft/quick to go off when pealed? Any ideas?

Frozen toffee bananas!!!!

I have 3 bags of spinach.Does anyone know if I can freeze it?

If not what could I do to keep it from going bad?

I don't think you can freeze it raw, but you can definitely freeze it if you blanch or steam it first.

I may try that.I don't know what else to do?

Spinach soup. Spinach vegan quiche, spinach filo pastry pie etc

Perhaps the soup because I have no tofu currently.

I've frozen raw spinach before, but only used it in smoothies after. Was perfectly fine for that application.

Sounds good,Renee.Unfortunately, your a little late.I'll have to remember that for the next time I get massive spinach.

So what did you do with it all?

Mostly it went into soups.

I have a tin problem. I wanted to make several christmas cakes tomorrow in a new multi-way tin I bought, but the tin doesn't fit in the oven (doh). So now I just have one large round tin it'll fit in - but I wanted a square tin/several tins so that I can portion it into 4-6 little cakes to give away to people as gifts. Any bright ideas?

I thought about cutting it into six slices, and icing each one. I thought it was a cute idea but it might be a bit icing-heavy for people, and the cake might be too crumbly when I slice it for it to look tidy. Any thoughts?

I really want to get it done tomorrow so it gets a good 3 months to mature. I don't want to fork out for another tin if I don't have to...

I would suggest that you try making Fiona Cairn's ( she really is the Queen of cake decorating) mini Christmas parcels using a plain square tin. The parcels looks so elegant and dainty compared to a slice of cake. Furthermore, I made a vegan Christmas cake last year and found that the texture was very crumbly.

Did you purchase the multi-way tin from Lakeland's ? They have so many original cake tins and accessories.

Anyway, I find that your idea is a great way to give an original gift to family and friends !

Yes, that is what I was going to do (or something like that anyway) but I don't have a big square tin, that was the problem, the multiway one doesn't fit in my oven.

You can get square tins at either Wilkinson's (really cheap) 99 P stores, £land or Sainsbug's.

Sigh, well like I said I didn't want to have to buy new tins, but I think I will. I was hoping someone would have a good idea of something else I could use, or something.

If you're planning on making mini round cakes, you could use small baked bean tins.

You can however buy a square cake tin for £1. Why don't you go to charity shops and see whether they have cheaper ones ?

You could also just use someon else's oven to bake the cake using your tin.

I think this is interesting.It seems a bit complicated but if it saves a little money you could give it a try.
