Hi Rich

I really think that is very... oh I lack the words, but making your own fresh dried mint, that is very splendid.

Nice one!

Thank you kind sir

Dried beetroot next for food colour experiment

best, Rich

Rich,

I've used beetroot juice as colouring in my rice with excellent results.

gives a nice colour and natural sweetness which you'll never attain from food colourings

ps...can also be great for dyeing clothes/hair etc...lol

Cheers

mr.mojorisin have you used any powdered version of beetroot
I'm sure by drying it and making it into powder i can then add a tsp etc when needed
Food colourings are getting a pain to pick up out here
The dried turmeric is really strong for the yellow just need a red - then a green

best, Rich

[mr.mojorisin]

apologies Rich
I actually meant beetroot juice from jarred beets.
living in Glasgow, there ain't much beetroot growing going on here
cheers

I put a fresh beetroot from my garden in my base sauce, couldn't really taste it but it did give it a lovely colour.
