I have made the most of winter fruit with quite a few different recipes this year. The mandarin curd was so delicious that I will be sure to repeat it next season.
Dealing with call centres has to be the most frustrating thing ever. After our break-in at work I had to provide the insurance company with an ITC number. In order to get that, I had to blacklist the phone. What sounded so simple proved to be anything but. I called the service provider who told me they needed the IMEI number. And of course without the phone, or the box it came in, I did not have it. They told me the store where I got my phone could provide me with the information. But they were wrong. The store refused to hand over any details to do with my contract. So it was another call to them where I was told a letter requesting the blacklisting would suffice. After the letter was sent with the information I was told to provide, I followed up.
And was then told they needed more information from me, as well as a form to be completed. I did as instructed and followed up again, only to be told that, no, they needed the IMEI number. So it was back to the beginning. I then asked to speak to a supervisor who told me she would facilitate getting the number for me. And that was the last I heard. With utter frustration and needing my claim to be sorted out, I decided to try again. I went into the store, spoke to the very same person who could not help me, but this time with my request in writing. Well, lo and behold, that seemed to do the trick. Within 10 minutes I not only had the IMEI number, I also had the phone blacklisted. All without having to deal with the call centre again.
I am passionate about using regional, seasonable and sustainable produce when I cook. I live in Gordons Bay with my husband and dogs. We visit new places locally and overseas as often as we can to experience the food of the area. Follow along on our adventures!

Citrus fruits make wonderful flavor for lenon-lime-or whatever type of curd. That’s a great idea. I’m surprised that gelatine is needed.

I used the curd for a tart so it just added a bit of firmness.
not only are such things frustrating mentally, they are such a waste of time…
glad you were able to get it resolved…
I thought I had, but sadly this was not the end of it.
Oh I love this citrus fruit twist on curd! Also, the use of gelatin here is an interesting touch.
It was the first time I tried this method and it helped with the setting 🙂
