2cnd lot of jam cooling in jars. Raspberry & a few redcurrants this time. Set not brilliant, but realised that continuing to boil would leave me with a small yield plus the risk of burnt jam at the bottom of the jam pan which then requires a brillo pad to sort it out.
Next lot, tomorrow, will be tayberry plus raspberry. Raspberry crumble now in oven. Have managed to break a small plate- it fell out of the freezer as opened the door. For the first time, have put jam jars into the dishwasher to get really clean! Soaked all the labels off first. Since dont usually use pickle/chutney jars for jam, the dishwasher should be better than by hand in sink.
Somehow the plan to defrost the freezer first thing tomorrow morning may not happen unless I wake really early. makes sense to try & do though, as will only be me in the house until after lunch, so much quicker to do it all when on my own. J.

Well that was tomorrow's lunch sooner than normal-the pie was in the oven on simmer- it was one cooked earlier
I will be doing dinner next Thursday
Jo it all sounds very yummy.
I have finished the ironing, I found an old Lewis on the box.
Geoff when will you start planning?
The preparation and planning meeting will be at 3 pm on Monday-so can we all have our thoughts and contributions ready.
I haven't had jam for years-my mother was a jam-maker
Lewis is finishing -but there are some more Endeavours to come
Can you rate your kitchen skills?
I have bramble jelly on my toast for breakfast, I do not like the seeds in jam.
No more Lewis
I don't think he is being killed off-just the actors have had enough
I can always do cowboy dinner,can read labels on tins and know how to use the microwave-will not be making jam
Can you make gravy?
I have made gravy-that does not mean I can make gravy
I am still watchimg endless repeats of The Big Bang Theory -still funny and have seen some 6/7 times
I have never watched TBBT
You should -one of funniest things on tv
