I haven't posted this week at all as all the boys have had stinking colds and so have I.

So, back to the list and an update of what I've done so far...

I made marmalade!

This is the first time I've ever tried making something like this but it turned out so well I 'll definitely be doing more. I'm already thinking about onion marmalade and maybe apple and ginger jam, mmmm. I think I could get obsessed with this preserving malarkey!

Very nice too! OH once made Kiwi marmalade when we had a glut of Kiwi fruit from our organic box scheme and it was scrummy! There is something about home made :-)

Thanks for your comments.
We're all well here now but snowed in for the day!
Kiwi marmalade sounds interesting! Does it stay green after its been boiled?
