I was always bemused by Deliah Smith’s Champagne Jelly recipe “to use up left over champagne”…no such thing surely!

But seriously – unfinished wine, pour into ice cube trays and freeze, then they’re all ready for the next time you have a recipe calling for wine without having to open a new bottle.

Strawberry Rice Pudding

Ingredients:
1/4 cup rice (medium or short grained such as arborio)
2 1/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 handful strawberries (sliced)
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon pistachios (chopped)

Directions:
1. Bring the milk, rice, sugar and vanilla extract to a boil in a sauce pan.
2. Reduce the heat and simmer until the milk is mostly absorbed, about 25-35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Simmer the balsamic vinegar and honey in a small sauce pan to reduce to a syrup.
4. Mix the strawberries into the rice and drizzle the balsamic syrup on top followed by the chopped pistachios.

Pah! It’s mandatory to open a bottle – I got a fridge magnet that says:

I cook with wine and sometimes I put wine in the cooking! lmao :lol:

Upside Down Pear Gingerbread Cake

Ingredients

* 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
* 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 2 teaspoons ground ginger
* 1 teaspoon ground cloves
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
*
* 1/4 cup butter
* 1/4 cup brown sugar
* 1 (29 ounce) can pear halves, well drained
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 1 egg
* 1 cup molasses
* 1 cup hot water

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a bowl, lightly mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt until thoroughly combined.
2. Place 1/4 cup of butter into a 10-inch springform pan, put it in the oven, and allow to melt for a minute or two. Sprinkle the melted butter evenly with brown sugar. Pat the pear halves dry with paper towels, and cut each half into 3 slices lengthwise. Arrange the pear slices in a spiral pattern on top of the brown sugar. Without disturbing the arranged slices, spray the inside walls of the pan with cooking spray.
3. Beat the white sugar and 1/2 cup of butter in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until creamy; beat in the egg, then mix in the molasses. Mix the flour mixture into the molasses mixture, then stir in the hot water. Pour the batter into the springform pan on top of the pear slices.
4. Bake the cake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
5. Allow to cool completely in the pan before inverting on a serving dish and removing pan.
