And fruit gluts call for jam making.
And just any old fruit jam will not do, so I have been on a quest for the ultimate jam recipe - and I might have found it.
I present:-
- Caramel Apple Jam
- Blackberry Jam with Ginger and Mint
- Blackberry Jam with Ginger and Whiskey
I am currently enjoying the Apple Jam. It was dead easy and I would share the recipe with you - but I have lost the link!!! Bother - and Google is not helping!
Meanwhile, in the garden I am growing poison (Ricinus). That flower looks evil in my opinion!
I am also doing stitching - the Journal Quilts deadline is looming. I will share very soon.
Thanks for stopping by.
I have a cumquat tree in a pot, just for ornament but the other year the stars aligned & there was so much fruit...then i saw at the market the price of the candied cumquat, I could have made enough to retire on. So i duly made the candies and poured off the syrup as it was jam like. Also dipped some of the candies in choc...ooh ahhh... Delish.
ReplyDeleteI am drooling!!
DeleteIs a cumquat a relation of lemons/oranges? It does sound exotic!
MMMM, those sound delicious, particularly the caramel and apple.
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd had a container with me when we came across the mulberry tree last week as the flavour was so exquisite.
Good luck with the journals.
Mulberries are fantastic but I don't think they travel that well! My friend has one in his garden - they sometimes have mulberry pancakes for breakfast!
