I suppose so but they have a high oil content and I am not sure that the food processor can do it fine enough.

I used almond flour last year (which seemed to be basically the same as ground almonds) for my christmas puds. Can't remember where the missus found it but can find out if you want?

That would be great! Thanks.....meanwhile I just took a tour around my recently vamped up grocery market and I found marzipan....things are looking up.

We have a family tradition of making our own mincemeat and lemon curd. The problem is that the commercial stuff never tastes as good once you've had the home made.

Know what you mean. I make picallilli and pickled onions....can't stand the stuff in the shops now.

Turns out we got it at a shop near where we live (Dorothy Lane Market) but I reckon you should be able to find it elsewhere

Just bought a pack of milk chocolate digestives at $5.50, sat in a starbucks eating them with a cup of tea. Cant stop smiling. Beautiful.

Hey! That's what I am doing right now.....in my house....good ol' PG Tipps
