In a jam
I've been filling the store cupboard as well as getting ahead with Christmas hampers. I've made:
Last year I did not get my hands on any kind of fruit in sufficient quantities to do more than a pudding so I think I am going a bit overboard with the jam this year to compensate.
Edited so that I have a complete list I can refer back to:
- 20 jars of pasta sauce from fresh tomatoes and it looks lovely. It is such a bright orange colour compared to sauces that I've made before from tinned plum tomatoes
- gooseberry and elderflower jam - one of my absolute favourites
- gooseberry and redcurrant jam
- redcurrant jelly
- strawberry jam
- even more strawberry jam but this one has a softer set so it will be wonderful on icecream or with yoghurt
- strawberry and rhubarb jam
- four fruit marmalade
- three fruit marmalade
- elderflower cordial
- dandelion honey
Last year I did not get my hands on any kind of fruit in sufficient quantities to do more than a pudding so I think I am going a bit overboard with the jam this year to compensate.
Edited so that I have a complete list I can refer back to:
- blackberry and raspberry jam
- runner bean chutney
- rhubarb and apple and ginger chutney
- pickled cucumber
- pickled beans
- blackberry and apple jam
- rhubarb and apricot jam
- raspberry plus jam - raspberries plus a little bit of rhubarb and a handful of blackberries
- lavender and lemon chutney
- last of the summer jam - blackberries, sloes, wild damsons, crab apples, quinces, apples
- damson jam
- damson and orange jam
- elderberry syrup
- blackberry and elderberry jam
- sloe and apple jam
- hedgerow jelly
- apple and pineapple jelly

You have been busy! I made courgette chutney today (aswell as yet more courgette soup for the freezer). I've also made blackcurrant jam, and some mixed fruit jam. I do love seeing the jars lined up in the cupboard!

I am so jealous, I cannot wait to have a big enough cooker and the space to do some preserving. I am drooling now reading your list xxxx

Scarlet: We didn't get enough blackcurrants to make jam and a recipe for courgette chutney would be nice - please?
Fran: My friend makes jam on one electric ring but it is the storage that is the problem.
