Mousse of ham and pineapple

[touchingcloth]

From a Barbara Cartland recipe book.

Ingredients:
- 1/4lb ham per person
- As much pineapple as you feel like
- A glass of Madeira
- a leaf or two of gelatine

Method:
Emulsify it so you end up with a mousse at the end (ham must be cooked first).

Hopefully this gives you some inspiration for catering over the holidays period.

I missed the part about cooking the ham, how to recover?

[Huxleys Babkins]

I felt like using 87 kilos of pineapple but it doesn't seem to want to emulsify. Any ideas, Barbara?

The "glass of Madeira" has been a problem for me.
The volcanic nature of the island's rock has resulted in my blender becoming buggered-to-fuck.

[Huxleys Babkins]

Perhaps it's not emulsifying because I didn't cook the ham enough. I'll try and retrieve it from the pineapple slush in the bathtub and whack it back in the oven for a couple of weeks.

[Huxleys Babkins]

Maybe I should have only used one leaf of gelatine instead of two? Anyone know how to retrieve dissolved gelatine from pulped pineapple? Barbara can you help? I've left a voicemail, this is really serious.

The recipe is quite clear, use a leaf of gelatine to scoop it out, did you use enough pineapple as you feel like?

[Huxleys Babkins]

I felt like using 87 kilos so that's what I've done. I tried to scoop it out using another leaf, but that's dissolved into it now as well. Maybe that'll help. Oh, fuck, the dog's just jumped into the

Have you tried using a tin of tomatos (Plum not chopped) or a bag of milk? I forget which ones supposed to help...maybe both. try both.

Ask Ronalado. Ronalado blend first.

[Huxleys Babkins]

Right, I've retrieved the dog, but there's no way I'll be able to serve this to people, no matter how emulsified it is. Gonna start again.

Is there a recommended amount of tomatoes I should use or should I use my feelings for those too? Would Barbara know? I've sent her a letter just now, but I've still heard nothing back.

Listen to your heart. then add 3. don't use too much though...all I'll say is two words. "Napalm."

Blend It Like Ronalado

This could be why Barbara Cartland's Cookery Club (ATV 1974) never ran to a second series. Also the racialism.

[Huxleys Babkins]

My heart says 12 tins of tomatoes, plus three takes me to 15. Picked up a mixture of tinned and chopped from Aldi, including one with herbs. That'll set the cat amongst the pigeons!

The bagged milk is a bit of a problem though. Plentiful in Canada, apparently, but the UK supermarkets tried to push it around 2010 and it just didn't take off. I'm wondering if I should order some in from Canada and wait a week or so for it to turn up or if I should just fill my Tesco Bag For Life with bottled milk. It's a Star Wars-branded bag with Kylo Ren on it, if that makes any difference. I'd ask Barbara but she still hasn't answered the telegram I sent her last week regarding a syrup sponge.

Then she decided to try her hand as a singer, and her album tastes like this recipe.
