    If I dig up my JA's today...

    .... what's the best way to keep them nice and fresh for tomorrow?

    I don't really fancy digging on crimbo morning so thought I would get some in today. However, I have noticed they go sort of soft if kept indoors for any length of time.
    Happy Gardening,

        Me too... one of the only things remaining on the lottie now.

        I'll try the salad drawer too. We've got half a foot of snow on the ground now, so anything that's sealed from the fridge is going outside to make more room!

                They're ok chilled for quite a while. Someone on here said you can bung them in water if they go wrinkly (Snadger - behave!) and they'll plump up again.

                    I've just made a Cream of JA soup for tomorrow's feast - and a Broccoli and Stilton alternative for the non believers in the power of the Artichoke.

                      In the absence of huge quantities of JA's to sample various recipes, we will have our few roasted (hidden in the spuds for the unwary)
