i made my first ever batch of jam at the weekend,  using vals lovely jam recipe in the book - it is the nicest thing ever, but sadly only had enough strawbs to make half a batch, as was first year of plants but nexct year loook out
on the look out now for cheap reduced strawbs

thanks for the lovely recipe (not sure my waist is so forgiving tho  )

been telling everyone cos i am very excited about it

also mad fab rabbit casserole, and cooked then marinated some in olive oil salt and pepper - that was sooo tasty
waiting for my mum to visit as she brings rabbit with her - free food when you factor in veg from the plot - the best kind

i have to say i cook more in the winter for the freezer and am loving getting back into it again

i made some of that too tode, but...................it burned a bit so havent tasted it yet, but it didnt taste too bad hot - one thing - i didnt realise raspberries were so seedy....... i havnt labelled the jars as its so easy to tell them apart

Yeah, but they're not a pain in the whatsit like blackberry pips.
Fresh raspberry sorbet is worth killing for
