Dear Cath
Q. Hi Cath,
I hardly use paper towels but what I do use them for is to drain the pineapple before I place it on a pizza so the pizza isn't soggy. Would you have a suggestion for draining pineapple instead of using paper towel?
Michelle Fulcher
A. Michelle I don't use paper towel either. You can use a serviette if you have them, but I use clean microfibre dishcloths I save just for this purpose. They're great for drying pineapple and beetroot, draining fried foods etc. Once I've finished using them they go into the wash and back into the basket to be reused. I've never had a problem with fluff on the food.

.Q. Why do you add citric acid and tartaric acid to make lemon and lime cordial? Thank you.
Kim Lee
A. Citric Acid and Tartaric Acid, apart from adding tartness to the finished cordial, act as a preservative. Alternatively you can leave them out (I'd cut the amount of sugar) and process the finished cordial in a hot water bath.
