    The apples will be nice stewed with sultanas and a little cinnamon if you like it or you could even stew a few plums and apples together, although I don,t know what that mixture would taste like.

    That sounds great for the apples, thank you Primrose. I love stewed fruit, especially when it was free. Cinnamon is excellent for adding a bit of interest to things.

  • Have been lurking for weeks, reading along and getting great motivation from everyone here.
    Heaveups of 'stuff' decluttered and lots of that has been gifted to others/charitied/gumtree'd, etc..
    Slowly yet surely I am getting our home far more clutter free, which in turn is much easier to keep clean! :j
    Also streamlining finances, work, commitments.. A happier, calmer life is emerging!
    Thanks for keeping my spirits up when they flagged, your thread has been a real pick me up x:D

  • I've just seen this thread mentioned on another thread, looks right up my street. I'v just subscribed and going to start reading my way through it :):)
  • Morning all

    Thought I should do my bit to re-ignite the thread too.

    I have begun C prep as I am making lots of stuff this year. I'm considering making to sell too as a bit of a sideline. So crackers are under way, as are cards. I have got some dried provisions in like cranberries ready for making edible gifts nearer the time. I have got my flip cap bottles ready to sterilise for drinkable gifts too. I have a roll of cellophane and a few wicker baskets to make up hampers for the couple of bigger gifts I give.

    Bargain seeds from wilkos the other week too at 10p or 30p a pack so can spend an Autumn/winter evening planning crops for next year.

    Have good days all

    Bexster :)
