Hello Mick and thank you I offer only advice as I see it in the main Please DO NOT BE OFFENDED IF I APPEAR TO ARGUE It is only my way of doing it.Take the bread for instance there are several I cannot make in the Panasonic Give you a chortle Mick Kath was in Lidl with me some time ago and they had a whole range of bread mixes Look George there is some of that fluffy Italian sort shall we buy one Yes lets So on the next afternoon she said Lets make that bread mix.(MICK WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS READ THE BLOODY INSTRUCTIONS)So add water to the pan first then the mix Easy eh? Switch on and do things else where,GEORGE George is heard screaming from the kitchen I rushes in as fast as I could and the Chiabatta had pushed the lid up and back and was visibly growing .Switch the thing off woman.It wasn't a lot of bother to clean up but on retrieving the packet from the bin and READING THE INSTRUCTIONS Use only half this packet of mix per loaf.Em mm!

Ha ha ha   me all over...   Started reading the instructions on everything though now. As for being offended in any way.....  It will never happen.
Too chilled to let anything get me down Wiz man.  I take people as I find them.  And if you did 'argue' you would only be voicing your opinion & that aint a problem to me & never will be   

[Wizard]

Thanks Mick So many folk are so thin skinned now-a-days and think I/U are at em and I'm not at all like you you get what you find

[Mickyork]

If people can't take a little criticism or have the crack. It's time to give up. Miserable gits.  Nothing wrong with a little healthy banter.
I think typing things as to actually speaking is the cause of the odd rift cos things can be taken wrong. As in more than one meaning as it's written.
Sod em all anyway ha ha ha   I'm too chilled to care about their hang ups

Found this, might be worth a try   

Rose-hip cordial

You need:
900g wild rose-hips
1.8 litres water
275g sugar for every 600ml juice
squeeze of lemon juice to taste.

What to do:
Boil the water in a large saucepan and put in rose-hip 'mash' and simmer for 15 minutes.
Strain the juice through a jelly bag or muslin. Measure the juice and add the appropriate amount of sugar and lemon juice.
Heat together until the sugar is dissolved.
Fill up clean warmed bottling jars and stand them in a shallow tray in an oven at 150 degrees.
Bring to simmering point and allow a further 20 - 30 minutes more cooking.
Leave to cool and store in a dark place.
