It was not that long ago that hippies and tree huggers were the only ones to show concern regarding the well-being of the ecosystem. That has fully changed now, since we all appear to have an awareness that the planet is having difficulties, and we all have a part to play in fixing it. The experts are agreed that we are not able to change things for the better without everyone’s active contribution. Each and every family should start generating changes that are environmentally friendly and they must do this soon. Read on for some methods to go green and save energy, generally in the kitchen.

Refrigerators and freezers use a lot of electricity, particularly when they are not working as economically as they should. If you can get a new one, they use about 60% less than the old versions that happen to be more than ten years old. The proper temperature for food is 37F inside the fridge and 0F in the freezer, and sticking to these will use less electricity. Checking that the condenser is clean, which means that the motor needs to operate less often, will also save electricity.

As you can see, there are many little elements that you can do to save energy, and save money, in the kitchen alone. Green living just isn’t that hard. A lot of it really is merely utilizing common sense.

The ingredients needed to prepare Last-minute Christmas Mincemeat:
  1. Get 400 g dried fruit, I used raisins and sultanas only but you could also add dried cranberries, cherries, mixed peel etc
  2. Provide 1 eating apple, peeled
  3. Get 100 g marzipan, grated
  4. Provide 50 g butter
  5. Provide 50 g chopped almonds or cashew nuts
  6. You need 75 g soft muscovado sugar
  7. Prepare 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  8. Provide 1 tsp mixed spice
  9. You need finely grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
  10. Get 200 ml brandy, rum or whiskey
Steps to make Last-minute Christmas Mincemeat:
  1. Mix the dried fruit together. Weigh the nuts and break them up gently with the end of a rolling pin or chop roughly with a knife.
  2. Grate the marzipan and the apple. Put in a pan together with the dried fruit, nuts and butter.
  3. Add the sugar and spices and grate in the lemon zest, then squeeze the lemon and add the juice to the pan. Cover and heat gently, stirring as the butter and marzipan melt so everything mixes together.
  4. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes, then leave to cool. When completely cool add and stir in the rum, whiskey or brandy.
  5. I left it to stand for a while longer as it looked too liquid, and in about an hour or two the rum had been absorbed into the fruit. I then transferred it to jars (two of them) left them to stand overnight, then used the mincemeat to make mince pies the next day, see separate recipe.
