It has been a busy couple of days and I have enjoyed every
minute of them. Spent most of yesterday mooching
around Guisborough, I was in the vintage charity shops and managed to buy some beautiful
yellow and pink doilies. I found a craft
workshop called Blue House which has many courses including glass painting
which I would love to have a go at. Then
into Leven crafts which to any crotcheter, knitter or sewer is like a fabulous
sweetie shop. This was followed by a
wonderful lunch and much needed catch up with my old neighbour and friend
Vicki.
Back at home it was time to put my jam pans on to finish the
jelly off. I added a little port to the
apple, elderberry, plum and sloe pan.
The smell was wonderful and well, it will be Christmas after all! This jelly can be used for savoury use such
as added to gravy, used as a marinade, accompaniment or is just as good on toast.
I love the fact it is a good all rounder.
This morning started with switching my sewing machine on and
fulfilling a promise for my florist friend Rachel. She has just rebranded her company and wanted
a new apron in her new colours that would be pretty but not too girlie. She was very pleased with the result this
afternoon when I delivered it.
Tonight I have finished my jars off with labels and Christmas
material I had left over from last year.
The cloth tops remind me of kids dressed as shepherds in the schools advent
plays for some strange reason and has made me smile while putting string around
them.
Jam pan has been put back on to use the last of the apples. This time I have added rosemary which is a
lovely savoury jelly. That is in the
strainer now and will be finished off tomorrow. Don't know how I managed to fit work in.
