FYI - for future reference, kiwis can be stewed, they then taste like gooseberries. Clearly this can be frozen and you can add to anything you'd add stewed fruit - yoghurt / overnight oats / etc.. gooseberry fool is cream and stewed gooseberries, we used to add jelly too. I bet this would work in this.
You might find a dehydrator useful for surplus fruit etc - I got mine for less than £40 and dehydrate all of my herbs that I use, plus surplus tomatoes and fruits. Fruits can be rehydrated quickly, or just used as they are in overnight oats etc. Saves premium space in the freezer :)
Hi Claire. I believe you were talking about my question in the beginning. Thank you for expanding on this. Morrisons it is for me then as I saw they handle magic bags at the customer desk. I can't see myself going to Lidl or Aldi and asking at the till then standing there waiting with the whole line looking at me 🥲 Autism spectrum at work there. You got a couple good bags and I'm jealous of all the kiwis. Few ideas here. Make kiwi jam, it's super easy. Also cheesecake with sliced kiwis and strawberries layered on top and covered with fruit jelly. Freeze bananas and blend them frozen, you get banana icecream! The broccoli with mushy top you can still use, just slice off the bad parts and use stems along with your potato, onion and a leek to make a nice blended soup. The beetroot is 100% spirit vinegar, malt one would make them taste weird. If I get leftover cucumbers I slice them and vinegar pickle with garlic. Take care.
I know it's 'a tad' late to comment on this. But Trodden Black over Edinburgh way make an amazing kiwi-chilli jam. I'm sure a DIY version wouldn't be too tricky and probably keep for an age. ... When I say "I'm sure" I do of course mean "I have no idea". But still. Experiments ftw!
Chilled Kiwi Soup a la Nadiya Hussain (from Bake Off years ago). I wanted to say leek and kiwi soup, but I thought it might not be your cup of tea! I really like your pixie cut!
My morrisons is terrible. First time I got a bag of just parsnips and bread. Second time just bags of chopped lettuce and yoghurt. Neither worth 10 quid. The reduced section was heaving so there was really no excuse.
Claire, I would just eat the kiwis one and a half at a time when they are ready. so 3 a day until I hit 20, so a weeks worth.. yay! should be nice. they go well with a yoghurt, a banana, strawberries or a plain biscuit. speaking of biscuits, I bought my first packet yesterday since getting out of hospital where they made me eat 2 biscuits a day - custard creams. so I opted for fruit shortcake for the 1st time... they are yummy, and my point is, they wd go with a kiwis. i dont have kiwis tho... i have zee strawberries!! later, xx
Oh and Claire, you know how you did Ed's lunch, could you maybe consider doing 5 days of decent bread based lunches, cos I was thinking that would be easy for me to make me, and i can add extras like yoghurt, choc milk, but there is a danger i would have 5x peanut butter. I seen someone make a bacon sandwich, which I've never done, but even blt is maybe something I could do. Anyway, its fine it u dont haha
Our Aldi stores are self check out now with the exception of one line. I hate it. If you have a questions, that one checker will yell answers to you. Ugh. I think someone was sword fighting with the cucumbers! I love to make fruit pizza with kiwi on top. By the time you read this, the kiwis are gone, but maybe you'll get em again.
I’ve never had kiwi on pizza! But I suppose pineapple works, so why not! Call me old fashioned but I like chatting to actual people at the check outs. I always manage to upset the machines anyway xx
I’ve had issues with no phone signal in store which was annoying. I either logged into the free store Wi-Fi or stepped outside to bring up the ‘swipe to collect’ page to show the staff xx
I’m originally from Glasgow and moved back to study but I’ve lived all over the shop. My accent comes and goes depending on how tired I am, who am talking to and whether or not wine is involved 🤣 xx
Take a photo of the slimy broccoli and contact Too Good To Go because the food is supposed to be edible and they might add a £4 voucher to your account.
I also just saw a recipe for strawberry and kiwi soup that might be nice, and even kid friendly. (there are several versions on google). Hope you are doing well, and that the kids are healthy.

Oh boy I’m allergic to kiwis and I love them 😊
Oh no! That must be frustrating! xx

Kiwi jam

Yes I was thinking of your question and a few others too 😊 love the idea of kiwi jam, thank you! Xx
Think I get as excited as you to see what’s in your magic bags 😁 x
Haha! It’s good fun getting them xx
Juice the kiwis, Such a nice juice. Or if you not into juicing, make kiwi jam it is easy to make and absolutely delicious,
Kiwi jam sounds awesome! Xx
A smoothie for the kiwis
Good idea! Although Freyja has been getting through them pretty quick 🤣 xx
That is a lot of kiwis! 😂
Good job we like them! xx

Next time I get my paws on a load of kiwi fruit I’m definitely trying it! My kids love kiwi though so it’s tough keeping them around 🤣 xx
Omg I thought keylime pie WAS kiwis 🥝 I've learnt something new today! X 😅
I started saying it then suddenly remembered what it’s made of 🤣 edited out is 30 seconds of me staring into space while I thought about it 🤣 xx
@@mumthings 🤣🤣
Hi Claire , just a heads up. Asda are selling a gluten free Worcester sauce called chippa now and it's quite reasonable xxx
Ooh I will check it out! Thanks for the tip xx
You can eat the centre of the broccoli stem. It tastes the same as kohlrabi.
We normally do use it (or give it to the rabbit) but the whole thing was pretty yucky xx
Chilled Kiwi Soup a la Nadiya Hussain (from Bake Off years ago). I wanted to say leek and kiwi soup, but I thought it might not be your cup of tea! I really like your pixie cut!
Ooh will look it up, I do love her recipes. Leek and kiwi soup might be a stretch for me but I will try most things once 🤣 xx
The Morrisons bags always look like they have lots of healthy foods.
They do which I love. I’m always slightly disappointed when we get loads of processed things. It’s just not as flexible xx

Ooh that sounds good! Hope your recovery is going well xx
Pickle the cucumbers, good with cheese in a sandwich, would use the onions up as well
Good idea! I haven’t pickled cucumbers in ages xx

Make Kiwi Jam.x
Sounds delicious 🤤 xx
what do you do if ap does not work in store?
I’ve had issues with no phone signal in store which was annoying. I either logged into the free store Wi-Fi or stepped outside to bring up the ‘swipe to collect’ page to show the staff xx
Chop up a few kiwis, slice some bananas and throw in the apple slices then pour on some custard or evaporated milk
Oooh love a good fruit salad 🤤 xx
You are so charmong.
Aw thank you Carol! xx
Where are you from? I’m a Scottish expat and sometimes you sound Scottish and sometimes you sound English lol.

Plural of kiwi is kiwis.
Good to know!
Take a photo of the slimy broccoli and contact Too Good To Go because the food is supposed to be edible and they might add a £4 voucher to your account.
I wish I’d thought to do that. Oh well, if it happens again I will! Xx
Make a soup xxx
I hate gluten free bread xxxx
It’s not the best is it. I often just go without. Thankfully it has improved a lot since my dad was diagnosed as coeliac 30 years ago! Xx
@@mumthings yes it has xxx
I also just saw a recipe for strawberry and kiwi soup that might be nice, and even kid friendly. (there are several versions on google). Hope you are doing well, and that the kids are healthy.
Thanks lovely 😊 my toddler does love a kiwi so she’s been powering through them. We are surviving thanks, hope you’re well! Cx
@@mumthings Yes, thanks, Claire. Enjoying the cooler weather now.
I don’t like kiwi xx

That's a good use for them! In the end my toddler had demolished them before I even got a chance to think about it xx
