Using a lot at the moment. Has anyone got a faster method than my current one of squeezing the slices into balls, then throwing 2 or 3 into the blender and whizzing? I'd be prepared to buy a cheap food processor or the like if it would be faster, but not sure if these would be fast enough to whizz the slices.

just a question for you .. any good ways of storing it for 3 - 4 days ?

I just tear the each slice into 3 or 4 bits, and put into the blender. A big food processor might help but IMHO it doesn't take too long to do a whole loaf this way.

With regards to storing it, into plastic bags, and then into the fridge, keeps for around 2 weeks if you get as much air as possible out of the bag before sealing it. Any longer storage required, I put mine in the freezer.

hmm ..

so no chance of keeping a few bags with me on the canal for a few days without freezing ... limited space in freezer on boats :s

I normally freeze it in Zip-loc bags(1 loaf to 1 bag). Was really looking for a quicker way of preparing it, using heaps for mullet fishing(sorry if this is off-group)

Exactly what I use a lot for Jim! I just get my mate who works in an Army cookhouse to knock me up half a dozen loaves the night before I go.Try asking any cooks you know or any local restraunts.

J.K. - see my post about using a vacuum sealer. If you prep it that way and if you were careful to have clean hands and work surface, it will last quite a while with no need for freezing and some days without any refrigeration at all. Just out of the sun and out of the light.

I usually add a bit of corn meal to the mix though to stop if from clumping.
