Thanks MCI and Fortune

I think Mr MWC has given me his germs... I feel a cold coming on

Too much anniversary kissing?

Another 4 jars of spiced apple jelly made so I have the following ready for my Christmas hampers:

13 jars whisky marmalade
10 jars gooseberry conserve
16 jars hedgerow jelly
8 jars spiced apple jelly

Slow-cooked pork in beer with haricot beans & greens for dinner

Mr MWC has (finally) opened a S&S ISA (Invesco Perp Income) this evening to use his full ISA allowance

I'm going to try freezing some eggs now while I've got some spare then hopefully I won't have to buy any in December :cool:

Left over pork/beans/greens for dinner with wholemeal pasta today.

Off to make some more crab apple jelly...

I'm having a day off from crab apples today i.e. I couldn't be bothered to cook any apples yesterday evening :rotfl:

Eggs OUT 6 (1 box sold for £1.30)

I lied about the crab apples... no jelly-making tonight but I will need to cook another batch of apples ready for tomorrow night

It's turning into a bit of a chore but now that they've been picked it would be wrong to throw them away - note to self: give father clearer instructions wrt quantities next year :rotfl:

Next on the list is herb jelly

I'm looking forward to a lie-in tomorrow morning as I don't need to leave home until 10:00 :j

The cheque from the sale of Mr MWC's shares (£2,847.13) has finally arrived from the USA :T Not sure what to do with it though... apart from pay it in before I lose it :rotfl:

Mr MWC collected 1/2 lamb from a local farm - whole shoulder, whole leg, 17 lamb chops, 6 burgers and a bag of bones for stock - £67.50 :T

7 small square jars of herb jelly made - another batch to be made but I'll need to buy some more cider vinegar first

I've also cooked the apples to make crab apple butter tomorrow evening

Dinner was leftover pork/beans/greens again!

So impressed by your preserving activities. Almost inspiring and would be tempted but I dont eat sugar so I just enjoy reading about it and imagining lots of pretty jars:)

food all sounds great - very tempted. How long will the butter store for, do you know?
