The jam saga continues. I went to visit my friend on a farm yesterday so that we could pick some blackberries. I also found a few sloes - yay!!! And some hips and haws and hazelnuts so I feel some hedgerow jelly coming on. I also acquired some windfall apples so I will be making blackberry and apple jam today. Right now, I'm just taking a break from peeling, chopping and removing bad bits from a very large pile of those apples. I have three saucepans beside my chair - one for good bits for the jam, one for bits of nice cores and nice peel for stewing up for some pectin-full liquid although the rabbits will be pleased to eat a bit of that, and the last pan for the bits that are not so nice and will go into the compost.

Back to work. It is a good job I got ahead on the ironing before term started.
