I've been searching for sevilles with no success. Hull isn't exactly the Hub of the Culinary Universe! I came home this morning wil big oranges and lemons - I'll make my usual St Clements(!) tomorrow so today I'll be mostly shredding (my new steel will come in useful to keep the knife sharp!
Good luck with yours Wellie.

Okay. The Sevilles are chopped (flesh, pips, pith, rind) and all in the preserving pan with all the lemons (ditto) and H20, being gradually brought up to the boil.
Surprise Surprise.... BC cat now wants to play 'Snowmen', which consists of a stuffed snowman head on a long string tied to a long wand, to save getting one's pinkies scratched to shreds. I'm making a Jelly version as well Shirl, but I might not bother with any shreds in at all afterwards, and knowing my luck at the moment, they'd only sink to the bottom anyway!

Ooh ooh! Me, pick me!! I'll play!
Actually BC has got a good afternoon playing with mummy ahead as the shred takes AGES to soften - or does that not matter as much if you aren't going to use the shred?  I'm going to do Bananana marmalade as my next one, btw - anyone done that before??

No, no washing up to be done luvvie, so just top your glass up and pull up an armchair (see Wellie hand over Mr. Snowman to Haze, and cat looking quizical: "Who Dat Mum?"
"That's your Auntie Hazel, sweetheart, and WAY over there, that's your Aunty Clarey from the funny face on the 'puter screen?" (she's met Clare & Klever Keith on MSN before today peeps!) Not sure about the peel Haze, just going to cook it all to Bu@@ery and strain it through Jelly Bag!

Yeah, it's going Top Bananananana thanks moggie sweets.....
I've simmered it forever now, so I'm just going to ladle it into Jelly Bag. BC's giving Haze the right old runaround! And once Seville's in Jelly Bag, that releases the preserving pan to be washed (ready Scarey?) to be used to boil up the Bramble Jelly, which is also on the go, having dripped through Jelly Bag all last night!

Crikey, I'm going to have to get my skates on if you need the preserving pan again. I thought I'd just be able to let it drip dry.

Good grief - two on the go at the same time? You'd be eating purple and orange stripey jelly if I tried to do that!
 If Mr Snowman was on a longer piece of 'lastic, I could be quite comfy sitting on the settee whilst playing, by the way....

Sorry I am late peeps, weather changed for the better and I popped out to fetch some orange netty stuff from freecycle, feed horseys and then home for a peaceful cooking of roast dinner and marmalade session. Got home to find no leccy in the shed - panic - water getting in somewhere and rain due again tonight. No1 son now on top of shed screwing battens through a big sheet of plastic kindly donated by over the road builder neighbour! About to start on the roast dinner (Madmax missed his being abroad) but cba with marmalade now!!
How's it going Wellie?
