Aunty I am impressed at either your memory or your record keeping:p you were nearly right with your gues then - must have been a good carpet to have lasted so well.

Actually it had more to do with the date on the newspaper I found when I tried removing the carpet from inside the wardrobes.:rotfl: Don't think they still do that.

However also found that I don't have underlay, the carpet has a sort of rubber backing which is breaking up, but not the dreaded green powder.

Early start tomorrow for a day out so have a good day folks
pigpen - hope things settle down
toots - thinking of you
Lady-L - hugs

When it has all drained over night, then what happens?

I boil the collected juice along with some sugar and then put it in jars

It would appear that my BR carpet was laid some time soon after 24th June 1975:eek: that's nearly as old as me!

PEN PEN got a bit excited about your secret identity before I had read the rest of the thread. sooo glad you arent the shower lady, I would not have a bucket cluttering up my bathroom although I'm not on a water meter yet.

if she hasn't answered this she will take the liquid, measure it and for each pint use pound of sugar and proceed as for jam...
boil it up, test for set and pot
she has but since mine's a recipe I will leave it here.

I gave the one liner version!

Valli's is the teacher version and far more precise - the 1lb sugar to the 1pt liquid is the key...

Valli

actually since quinces are high in pectin you could probably try less sugar. If you did and you didn't get a set you could always reboil.

I have been making jams and jellies much longer than I have been teaching.
I find jamming VERY satisfying...

Did the stick-chucking work?

I never really did the stick chucking - just spoke sternly to myself and used diversionary tactics like making quince jelly! Not least because my gardener is due on Thursday and I spoke to him the last time he came about making jam from those quinces....

And I bet I've been making jam, or been around jam making longer than you have
As a small child, I remember going out with the family and spending what seemed to be a whole day blackberry picking and then making jam from them, with some apples from the trees in the garden thrown in for good measure...

I have a quince tree in my garden, which produces 20-30 huge yellow quinces each year....but have never used the fruit except to look ornamental in a bowl. This year I'm determined to try quince jelly, and then to use the pulp to make quince cheese (http://www.cottagesmallholder.com/easy-quince-cheese-recipe-membrillo-467).

I haven't a clue what it will taste like, and hope it's worth the effort!

Thanks for reminding me to do this...Another job for half-term...!
