    I harvested rhubarb, strawberries, cherries, and raspberries over summer; a handful or a bowlful every few days. I cleaned / washed / cut / froze them in sandwichbaggies. Now, every time I feel like it, I make a small put of 'jam': 1 baggy of rhubarb with 1 baggy of other red fruit and a bit of sugar. I eat it in my breakfast yoghurt with homemade granola.


    I like this way of making jam/fruit stew, because it doesn't overwhelm me, and I need less sugar. The stew gets eaten within the fortnight.

    That is a lovely way of doing it. I like that your breakfast supply has less sugar

    Well finally I have got the huge piece of lamb out of the freezer and I am going to roast it today - really to get the space in my freezer. Three of us does not really justify such a huge piece but I will use the leftovers sensibly for Sunday and Monday (we are out tomorrow and Saturday for food :eek:
