Thick Sterilised Cream

I have been searching for this for yonks and as I had not found any I thought that with the take over of the company that I had sourced it from originally i.e. Fussells and there was another supplier as well, that with so many useful products that was it.

However I was talking to a friend at work who completely out of the blue mentioned it and I remarked that I had not seen it for years and she said that her mum had got her it recently from B & M, but it is called something slightly different to what it used to be.  Knowing that some of you will also remember this very useful little product I thought I would share.

So a trip to B & M was in order.  I subsequently went and I found it and snaffled seven tins for the pantry shelf as this is something that we always used to have with jelly and fruit for Sunday evening tea.  I am so pleased to have found it again, thanks to a friend at work.

I had some last night with pudding the rest is in the fridge just "chillin" for me to have with pudding tonight.  I can also categorically state that its the same as it always used to be.

This is what it looks like now:

I remember as a child that everything either used to be bottled, came from a tin or came fresh from the veg market, fishmonger or the Butcher. No supermarkets.  People today do not seem to keep a tin store like they used to but this is something that I regularly do or have done to date as a quick meal or pudding can be obtained quite quickly or they can be cooked and turned into something else.  Do any of you also keep a tin store and is there an ingredient/blast from the past that you have not seen for years.

Love to hear from you.
