hmmm
okay here goes
you can make lovely marmalade with manderines
they also juice very well
biscuits...do you mean like scones or like cookies?
if they are like plain cookies they can be 'refreshed' with 5minutes in the oven, if they are getting a bit soft OR you can crumb them and store the crumbs for pie crusts
If they are like scones they you might wrap them in small bundles and freeze them
the stilton I believe will also freeze but you will need to divide it up and wrap it very well to avoid the smell spreading throughout the freezer. this also means that you can take out a small bundle to defrost when you need it.
sprouts...that's tough. it's also ALOT of sprouts. eat as many salads as you can stomach and toss the rest.
apple sauce?? I don't know russets as they are not a variety we have here. But a nice way to use up applies is to core and cut them in eigths - skin on. Place on the batter for a basic butter cake with the skin up - sort on push them into the batter. Sprinkle liberally with a mix of cinnamon, sugar and butter and slivered almonds and bake as usual. it's delicious.
best of luck
Share it with friends and neighbors! I gave my neighbor a frozen turkey the other day, because I knew it would be a long time before we used it, and didn't want it to go to waste.
you send it all on over to me, to fill my empty cupboards...:D...make some apple butter!
Bin the lot
Use the stilton, sprouts, apples, and some of your favorite lettuce as the base for a salad. Use the mandarins as a base for a viniagrette. As for the biscuits? I'm not sure if you mean cookies, or dinner biscuits. Bon Appetit!!
my only suggestion is that since I'm new to cooking and don't know what to do with those is eat them separately or donate them to a food drive
With the biscuits and the mandarins you could make a mandarin cheese cake.
With the sprouts and Stilton make a quiche.
Then make a nice apple sauce which you can freeze and use another time for pork recipes.
That`s what I would do in your shoes. I also hate to waste any food, so I know how you feel. take care.
make a salad of apples, stilton,a little sprouts, make the mannderin into juice namaste
Mandarins oranges...make orange juice or add them in a spinach salad with a poppy dressing.
Biscuits..I would freeze them.
Stilton, not sure what that is and Sprouts, don't eat those, sorry.
Apples...make an apple crisp or small apple pie or you can cut them up and add them in yogurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal or you can saute 1 cut up apple with 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts and 1/4 cup of maple syrup and make a topping for pork-chops.
Happy New Year.
Try Brussel soup. It's delicious and easy to make.
