When did you last eat...

I eat jelly with fresh fruit in quite a lot, the sugar free one is lovely and with a small amount of ice-cream satisfy my need for pudding.

Haven’t eaten tinned fruit for ages but like you annsixty have memories of it for Sunday tea (along with egg and salad cream sandwiches). Still love evaporated milk.

My grandma used to give us an upturned half of a tinned peach surrounded by evaporated milk, and say it was a fried egg. Loved it.

Can you still buy Nestle tinned cream?? I love that stuff

I love Sainsbury's breakfast apricots with porridge or on cereal.

Yes, tinned pears and tinned nestle cream...

You're right about grapefruit and statins, Carillion. I try not to enjoy mine in front of DH, because he used to love grapefruit and can't have it now.

Oh, I might have a go at making that!

We used to have sponge flan case with tinned fruit cocktail and thr juice was put in a jug to be poured over. Also had a wonderful pud called fluff. Melt jelly in usual way, when cool and slightly set, whisk in a tin of Carnation Milk then allow to set. Pink fluff made with strawberry jelly was good. It is a dessert that can be made completely from the larder.

Oh that sounds nice, fennel.
I love ginger too.

MissAd - when I use tinned fruit I add the juice of a lemon to the syrup. I often use it as a base for a for a fruit salad, fresh fruit added later.
Grated ginger makes it more tasty.

I love tinned grapefruit but don't think you can eat it if you take statins?? ?

Sounds good Lemon

I would ask: when did you last eat jelly? (unless feeding young children).
We used to have orange jelly with mandarins, lime jelly with sliced banana and red jelly with fruit cocktail_height of sophistication- in rotation for Sunday teatime.
Haven't eaten jelly for years, since my children were young.

What does everyone do with the juice?
Drink it?

I love tinned pears but hate the texture of tinned peaches Tinned grapefruit is a lovely breakfast.

this has brought back memories. My mother used to spend ages with the hand rotary whisk beating some condensed milk and it would end up wonderfully light and so sweet. usually served on "fruit cocktail"

Sounds a bit daft, but I had quite forgotten these tasty puds with tinned fruit from childhood. Mandarins and custard is delicious or peaches and custard. I know what is going on this week’s shopping list! ?

Had some tinned breakfast apricots on pancakes with plain yoghurt just this morning.?
Delicious.

I’m very partial to tinned prunes and will sometimes throw the youngest Chen some tinned fruit if I feel like he hasn’t been eating enough fruit

I always have a couple of tins in the larder. They make an ideal desert when nothing else is available. I loathe do not like yoghourt or most of those yoghourt looking like pots with dessertds in them in the cool cabinet, so tinned fruit is an obvious replacement.

I get the fruit in fruit juice and prefer peach, pineapple, clementines and fruit salad, but rarely go beyond that small collection.

I like to make a fruit crumble with canned fruit now and then.
We had a tin of fruit salad with jelly and ice cream just a few weeks ago.

Actually just finished a tin ?

I really fancy some icecream now, with my mandarin pieces.
It makes the icecream go all curdled and lovely!

I've recently had tinned grapefruit for breakfast and used a tin of mandarin oranges in a jelly.
