    Morning All, Merry Xmas.

    Hope everyone has a great day.

    I'm sure we will. 'Round my way' it was -10 this morning,* but the sun's up, so I'm hoping for some large (solar) gains later.

    *By the way, that's degrees C, not %!!!!:D

    Morning all, season's greetings!

    This time last year we were in Busch Gardens, Florida! Relaxing time at home this year plus if plans come to fruition we'll need all our money.

    Last year we were saying the weather wasn't quite as warm as we expected - same this year!

    Nice to see old faces pop back in.

    fc, why not get some staff and spread the load? (I'm wondering who the biggest UK retailer is - Tesco?)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Just skimming posts but MERRY CHRISTMAS FC if you see this. We miss you but are thrilled things go well for you!


    Misskool, I had a piece of toast with your jelly this morning and it is the nicest thing in the world. Its my new addiction I think! Please will you give me the proportions so I can copy you next year :) I LOVE IT!!! (Quite fancy another piece of toast and that instead of lunch actually.)

    Unseasonaly I fancy leeks, so in addition to carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, brussels with chestnuts, roast potatos and stuffed tomatos I've decided I need more fresh greenness so have decided to have leeks and braised celery.

    aw shucks lir. glad you enjoyed it.

    Recipe : Plum, Apple and Chilli Jelly

    900g Bramley or crab apples, roughly chopped
    900g plums, stoned (I didn't bother)
    1.7 litres water

    Put these in a large pan, bring to boil, simmer for 1 hour
    Add 175ml cider vinegar and boil for 5 mins.
    Strain overnight though a jelly bag or muslin (don't squeeze it - the jelly goes cloudy)

    Measure the liquid and add 450g sugar for every 570ml of juice. Return to the large pan, slowly dissolve the sugar and boil for 20 mins + (until setting point). Leave to stand for 20 mins, then stir in 3-4 chillies chopped or cut into rings (looks prettier!). Pour into jars and seal.

    P.S. It comes out a lovely rose colour! Bit like crab apple jelly.

    27C and a light breeze here. Sun's down now of course so the temperature's probably dropped to 16C or so

    Bloody hot weather to be cooking a roast dinner for 18!

    Not too late to wish you all the compliments of the season, I hope?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
