Re: Jams, Jellies and Chutneys
Oh my goodness you really are throwing yourself into this jam making business. Good for you!! I think of you whenever I see homemade jam for sale. There definitely seems to be a market for it Banana jam!! Now that's a first surely Its good that you can get fruit from the local greengrocer.Re: Jams, Jellies and Chutneys
I was talking to someone the other day and she said that she wished she could make jam. I told her that if you could read a recipe you could make jam, chutney or marmalade. I do agree there is a lot of chopping, peeling, stirring going on but it is worth it. Even taking the skin off of tommies is worth it in the end.Re: Jams, Jellies and Chutneys
Cate darlin' - I would love to be able to make my own jams and preserves, but regrettably there are some practical considerations which prevent me from doing so:Re: Jams, Jellies and Chutneys
I know what you mean UJ but my greengrocer gave me a box of tommies the other day because they were not good enough for salad eating but when washed and picked and cut they made good chutney. My friend who is in his late sixties and suffers with 'getting older itis' makes his own tommy chutney at puts it in one kilner jar in a cupboard in his small kitchen.Re: Jams, Jellies and Chutneys
Been very productive for the last two weeks. Made some really nice jam including a cosmopolitan marmalade, orange, cranberry, and lime. A nice little smoothie number made with bananas, strawberries and orange juice and a strawberry margarita with a shot of tequila.Re: Jams, Jellies and Chutneys
Thanks mesco for your good luck. I really need it. I am quite confident that my jams are good but it is quite a big step for me. I must admit to getting tired now too. Made some interesting sauce today a lady asked for Cumberland Sauce but I thought it would be good with cranberries so I have called it cranberland sauce.Re: Jams, Jellies and Chutneys
