Choose De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes for a Dutch mash supper only as a separate sweet topping, not as an obvious ingredient for savoury mash. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack with 45 portions of 6 g; this doesn’t tell you what jar capacity in millilitres you’ll need. Start by setting out a small amount, and keep the original packaging beside the serving jar so you can check the ingredients and allergen information.
Who is this relevant for?
If you’d like to offer a little something sweet
You want to put something sweet on the table after or alongside the Dutch mash, without pouring the whole pack into a serving jar. Albert Heijn lists a 6 g portion for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, which can help you decide how much to set out.
If you check ingredients for your guests
You want to be able to check what’s in the product before serving it. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g. Check the pack you buy and keep it beside the serving jar.
If you specifically want to use a glass serving jar
You want to put a small amount on the table, but should choose your jar based on how much you actually pour into it. The pack’s weight of 270 g doesn’t tell you its capacity in millilitres.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether a separate sweet option works with your meal. Then choose how much to put on the table, and make sure the packaging with the product information is still available.

Who it matters to |
| Quantity and presentation |

| Sweet aniseed flavour |
Check whether your guests would like a sweet option, rather than a savoury addition to the Dutch mash. |

Common mistakes
-
Converting 270 g into a fixed jar size in millilitres
The pack’s weight doesn’t tell you how much space the crushed aniseed sprinkles will take up in a glass jar. Choosing a jar based only on the number of grams could mean you get it wrong.
First measure out the amount you want to serve, then find a jar that fits it. Albert Heijn lists 6 g per portion as a possible starting point.
-
Treating De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as a savoury seasoning
De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes is a sweet aniseed product, so it has a different role from a savoury addition to Dutch mash.
Serve it separately if you deliberately want to offer a sweet topping; don’t mix it into the main course without checking with your guests.
-
Putting the packaging away after decanting
If guests only see the glass jar, they can’t easily check the ingredients and allergens on the original label. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for this product.
Keep the packaging beside the serving jar and check the label on the product you actually bought before serving.
