Autumn has arrived so I am making something that I have done for the past three years. And I need books to weigh down what I am creating! I am ashamed to say that the easiest heavy books for me to use that fit in the pot are bridge books as you can see – can you guess what I am making; and do you forgive my use of the books?

Our guess is a tongue, Richard frequently tells me his Mum used to make it………so I have never tried!!

Some form of pate?
Maria Lyons
Is it a summer pudding?
Sean Haffey
Normally I would say Green Eggs and Ham but since it's autumn perhaps Brown Eggs and Ham.
Choice of book depends on size of pan. For example, my copy of the Complete Works of Shakespeare wouldn't fit but Three Men in a Boat lacks sufficient mass. Card Play Technique is physically and mentally a weighty tome and probably deserves reading once a year.

Ruth Gilmore
are you pressing meat, something like an ox tongue (apologies to vegetarians, but meat eaters have been known to do this….) ?

BlackBerry jam or sloe gin
Bernard Magee
We made sloe gin about 4 years ago, but not this time and not with bridge books!
