  • Now jam is also on my 101 list PAP...there's an idea...

    This is my fave lemon curd it looks a faff but its so worth it and this strawberry jam, for this one I also swapped the strawberry for rasberrys and also did a mix of apple (grated) and blackberrys. Also I sometimes add more pectin if the jam isn't setting well.

    Happy baking :T

    I've not weeded do you feel better Beanie?:D

    I ran 5 miles, brought the washing in and then went to the supermarket and to check on my parents' house on my bike, I am now mainly sitting:o there were a few wee spots of rain but didn't come to anything. Would also like to say that shopping with backpack is ideal way not to overspend as I hate carrying stuff!

    (Being that it's only my second time cycling this year I took the scenic route between the supermarket and my folks - was so busy dawdling and admiring the beach across the golf course I didn't realise someone was patiently waiting to pass me, oops will pay more attention in future...)

    Today's projects are: dyeing two pairs of black linen trousers back to black - it's worth a go as still love them both and they are very comfy just faded... and I'm making a wee birthday pressie for a lovely pal, will upload later if I get a mo.

    Also need to get grant info to SAAS so a bit of photocopying required later - such fun (where is that rolls eyes smiley when you need it?).
