Well OH made her first batch of jam and it worked well using equal amounts of sugar to fruit by weight.

What she did find was that as it is cooking and she was stirring, that the hulls floated to the surface and she just skimmed them off.

She is starting to feel that I am tying her to the kitchen as what with the jam (she's got a lot more to make yet) and drying fruit, I think her pushing me to take 3 plots has rebounded on her.

I told her that this must make her feel more feminine being in the kitchen more, what with house cleaning, washing ironing etc, she must feel she has reached nirvana.
