marmalade

I really love extra super chunky marmalade and would put whole candied oranges on my toast in the morning if it didn't set a bad example to those around me...

Every year I make some marmalade in order to ensure my annual fix of super chunks - why does shredless exist?????

This year an ingenious super cook friend pointed out that you can cut the peel with a tiny biscuit cutter and have SHAPED ORANGE PEEL floating around in your jam pan.  It really works.  I am so happy.
It's unlikely that anything else as good as this will happen all month...

If you really love a marmalade lover you could use a heart shaped cutter - imagine their joy on 14th Feb - and imagine how it would look in a tiny little jam jar with a swish of edible glitter mixed in...

I can hardly believe it.

You've probably got a page of Pins showing this already, but it's news to me!

jam

Wet day hobbies this week included jam making (strawberries and blackcurrants) and jam label making...what a happy coincidence that they both happened on the same day, otherwise jam with no labels or labels with no jam.

We eat a lot more jam than is good for us in this house, but if you make it yourself it suddenly becomes that little bit healthier...
