Yesterday was a long day and I didn't get through my list. I have to somehow get some of it done this weekend. Ahem...

First up: litres of olives now in salt brine and safely tucked away and where they will stay for a least two months.

I am still playing with lemons.

These are being preserved in salt and won't be ready for a while.

I've never done these before, so I am interested in seeing how things change in the jar over the next while.

Then, along with the rolls, it was the soup - a big batch as part of the prep for the Winter Fair, so two jars for that (not in thd pic).

In the jar today, and for the first time this winter, ginger and carrots soup. Back in stock, the lemonchilli marmalade... Perfect with freshly baked sourdough bread. That's baking as I write...

Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:

  • re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
  • and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
I blog to the Hive blockchain using a number of decentralised appplications.
  • From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.

  • Join Hive using this link and then join us in the Silver Bloggers' community by clicking on the logo.

  • lastly, graphics are created using partly my own photographs, images available freely available on @hive.blog and Canva.

I will check your website! For more jams and so on.
Do you also send abroad?

Sadly, no. It's simply too costly and complicated.

Ooh, lemons on the go! They are the best. I love jars of preserving, fermenting things every where . Currently, pickled mushrooms, ACV, chilli's for hot sauce, lime pickle, sauerkraut... I've run out of jars!

I am fortunate that friends loan me jars. The second of those is also going to be lemo , but a North Indian spice recipe. I love experimenting and getting gifts of jars at the market. The Husband not so much - they takw up space and he has the job of respraying the lids. Poor man! !lolz

I was in the Post Office queue yesterday when Diana Ross tried to push in.
I said “You can't hurry love, you'll just have to wait...”
