Garden Produce

I made redcurrent jelly yesterday, never made jam of any sort before.

The little jar and tulips are for my girls' adopted granny, who yesterday hung a jam thermomometer on her front door and gave a 'phone masterclass from her WI recipe book.
A beautiful shot. Where did you source the redcurrants?

Oh well done, I think we are all learning new skills during isolation.

beautiful set up and lovely dof. does redcurrant have the same taste as the blackcurrant? i love blackcurrant and always have a small jar in my fridge which in fact i should have with my cheese and peanut butter for breakfast this morning. no, wait, i want french toast. i can't say i've tasted any redcurrant before. aces!

I have never made jam either Jackie, what a great community you live in. Fab shot, loving the tulips too
March 29th, 2020  
so proud of you for expanding your skills! I have tons of jams an jellies in my store room that we can't eat fast enough. I give to my family but they don't eat enough of it. Giving them away is a great idea.
I love your colorful shot!

Now that is a good way to spend a day.

I find redcurrant jelly also goes with loads of meats: pork, sausages, bacon, chicken, turkey, salmon! Sadly lost one bush last year and I'm not hopeful for the other.
March 29th, 2020  
@summerfield blackcurrant much tarter!
