Eirin

This has been the week of plums. Bart & Mandy who live across the road said I could have all the plums off one of their plum trees which is lovely as the six plums on our tree all vanished before ripening!

I got some sugar from a friend of a friend of mine who owns a bakery:

...and using the new preserving pan that I got for Xmas...

...I made a vast quantity of plum preserves!

Breakfast -- eggs from our hens and homemade bread with homemade plum preserves!

The weather outside continues to be miserable, but inside the greenhouse, things are growing...

The jam looks great and I can see you'll have some sugar left over for more preserving!

Ooh, plum jam. Yummy! I'll be jam making with our damsons shortly. I am envying your lovely preserving pan. I have one but it looks distinctly tatty next to yours!
