Mmmm just made cherries in Liquor using cheap brandy and sugar, lovely. five mins in microwave and bottle in jars
Will probably do the same with peaches and nectarines as don't like jam. Nothing being wasted here.

Peach jam successfully made :j
Just waiting for it to chill now so I can try it out on the kids later.
I never eat jam and I could go at these homemade ones with a spoon
I'm sure it always tastes much better when you make something yourself :j


Next up is plum, blueberry or apricot

Edit: I am suggesting giving leftovers to a local farmer, lol... Not to go and buy a pig. However, pigs are fantastic creatures and if you have room and don't mind destruction, they are fantastic outdoor pets x

:rotfl: you nutter.

tee hee. That did make me giggle. I can just see us all adding a pig to our glitch wish list :rotfl:

Tried to "order" some extra cheese vouchers on yopmail when couldn't sleep during night.
Was going to see if any of the elite wanted them, if they had been unable to get them.
But sorry to say have just checked and although got reply emails, link says promotion finished

Strangely I usually like a strong cheese, buy actually like Leerdammer. Think it reminds me of childhood when we only had Edam and Gouda at home.
I really enjoy the holes :rotfl:they are calorie free

rhosynbach might disagree, but I normally do 1kg of sugar to 1kg of fruit, so equal quantities.

:T exactly what i would have said if i had been here was chopping peaches 8 jars of peach jam now cooling, some people do less fruit but i prefer to do equal quantities..

regarding food wastage I can remember when we were little and we visited the relatives in Ireland we kids used to go around the streets in the little town with a metal dustbin on wheels to collected everyones food waste - probably mostly potatoes, carrots, onion, carrot peelings, maybe some bones and plate scrapings - I don't imagine that there was much food waste as such. This was all fed to the pigs.

Pig food now has to be boiled or such like now so I don't think its allowed.

I cant remember any pigs or humans dying because the pig was fed on food scraps
