So, I will be having a go at Damson Gin Jam in a few weeks!! Very excited!

That we have no rubbish collection is quite good for us really, everything gets re-used or re-cycled and as a last resort burnt, at least that keeps us warm.<br /><br />Jane and Chris, the Challenge was just for myself really, but anyone is more than welcome to join in, we could have a list on the sidebar in the New Year perhaps.<br /><br />Yes Jan, the jam is LOVELY and still has a faint alcoholic tang...hic!!<br /><br />I'd give it a try with the sloes Sarah, I think experimentation is the way forward!!<br /><br />Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-74914737192802755142010-12-08T16:00:48.487+00:002010-12-08T16:00:48.487+00:00that all sounds rather delicious Sue!

I have a couple of jars steeping at present but thought they were supposed to be rather bitter, I don't know? Having said that, I've never made jam before either!<br />take care and keep warm<br />Sarah xlandcuckoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02539783011453017316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-62308429920988975932010-12-08T15:59:36.119+00:002010-12-08T15:59:36.119+00:00Wow, I'm impressed, and I bet that jam tastes ...Wow, I'm impressed, and I bet that jam tastes lovely.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430236104525571846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-34959208142639725172010-12-08T14:29:36.793+00:002010-12-08T14:29:36.793+00:00Is this challenge for you alone or are you going t...Is this challenge for you alone or are you going to get others to join you?<br />Jane xJane and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102086552682194819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-67142611447103544862010-12-08T14:29:13.610+00:002010-12-08T14:29:13.610+00:00Such a great idea, Sue!

We're pretty good at not wasting any food, but I also hate all the other day to day stuff that goes in the bin / recycling box... <br />You'll be glad to know I'll not be frosting your car for a while! Our extreme frost of the last few days has gently melted and we've even got some blue sky :-) <br />Denise xA Bun Can Dancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230119874949525088noreply@blogger.com
