I reported Country Slices never worked for me earlier in the week

Country Slices are by far my favourite slice by Mr K. However I'm on a diet so they are bad bad bad.

Hiya,

I don't have a recipe at all, just an easy method that works for me:

First things first, put a saucer or plate in the fridge, you will need it for testing the set of the jam later.....

1)Put fruit of choice in a pan (preferably foraged or whoopsied)

2)BARELY cover with water and stew til soft.

3)At this point you have to decide whether you want a jelly or jam.

If you want a jelly, you strain the fruit in a tea towel inside a colander over a pan overnight. You just use the juice .
(If you wanna be uber frugal, rescue the flesh for whamming into a blender with juice/yoghurt for a smoothie or add to a fruit pie filling)

If you want a jam, don't bother straining.

4)Then measure either juice for jelly or fruit and juice for jam.

5)For each pint you need a pound of sugar and a good glug of lemon juice (I use nearly half a bottle).
(If you have fresh lemons, all the better. Use the zest and juice.)

6)Boil rapidly until you reach setting point. Keep an eye on it and stir regularly.

7)Setting point is reached when you put a drop on the cold saucer and it forms a skin after a wee while (it will wrinkle when you push it with your nail).

8)Then put into hot sterile jars quickly and lid them. Leave undisturbed as they cool. They should form a vacuum as they cool and self seal.

I've now started using a water bath but this is not necessary for a beginner, especially if you are intending to gift or consume them within a few months.

Let us know how you go on

JJ, you're a star! :D:D:D I'll try this when I have some time. Let you know how disatrous I manage to make it!! :rotfl::rotfl:

Evening all

Just a quick catch up and a big thanks to everyone who sent supportive messages. You are all :A

OH is home at last. Bit quiet and subdued but to be expected I suppose. I ran him a big bubbly bath because he s̶m̶e̶l̶l̶s̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶h̶o̶s̶p̶i̶t̶a̶l̶ needs to relax:).

No shopping for me today:(. Will have to see what tomorrow brings. I might even consider doing it online if I can't get out.....don't reckon you get the same buzz online tho:D

Spiralling down, glad to see you posting and feeling a bit better:A

Have a good evening everyone:)

So pleased for you and your OH Claire. I really hope this is start of a new beginning for you. Look after each other. xx

Hi I did my online shop yesterday and it said allow 7 days, though some have had it through before this. If you go into my account when you are logged in you can go to my e vouchers and it should show in there.

It has the option to add an e voucher but scroll down below this and it does say vouchers already in your account.

I know how you feel I have my shop ready to check out, but I don't want to wait upto 7 days, I mean the glitch may be over. :eek:

Budgie xxx
Ps Apple Turnover did hers before mine I wonder if she could update please if hers have been credited to her account yet?

Budgie, I'm exactly the same as you, have a shop all ready to go but want my nice £33 apg first My delivery was Sun lunchtime but if the glitch finishes then it wasn't meant to be

Lovely to see the thread so harmonious again and so many new names sticking around. I'm not a newbie but def not a regular poster as I can't keep up with the chatterboxes, and not having a local As just had nothing to contribute the ths apg discussions, but well done on everyones successes and thanks for all the info you provide as well as the help, support, piccies and general nuttiness that makes the Elite thread what it is:beer:

I have committed a school boy error this evening that I wasn't aware of.
Headed back to to do a cereal shop with a £10.18p voucher..Went and used the self service checkout to pay and had to wait for the lady to get her SA to come authorise my transaction. I waited about 5 min' then the SA came over and he informed me that "This voucher isn't valid until 6am the following morning" I replied with "sorry I had no Idea" He cancelled the whole order for me and off I went with my tail between my legs.

Yesterday I did about 3 shops and used the vouchers that very day. Looks like today has been an unlucky visit for me.

So do you all wait at least 2hrs before you try to redeem your voucher(s)??
