Get yourself a lemon tree!! If you have the right indoor place for it alternatively, you're stuck with that horrible bottle of pectin stuff, or the jamming sugar with pectin in, or even those bottles of lemon/line juice? Not great but better than no jam.

Purchased a gift for my father for Christmas that is too big for me to store and use, but he will have space, and it might be useful. Its a stove top distiller that should be ideal for water purification is used right.

LMAO

Thanks for the pectin link, I'd heard that people made it from ordinary apples (and I was sceptical) this makes far more sense. This is another bookmark for me to reread and digest. Many thanks, thats great

Bought more tinned veg, mushrooms, Carrot's, corn and sainsburys have the fray bentos tinned pies on offer so got 2 just chicken, 1 deep filled steak and one steak & kidney, alphabet pasta for adding to soups, bow shaped pasta, tinned fruit cocktail, tub of salt, vimto concentrated cherry squeezer, tin of mustard powder, large kilner jar and dried onions. Pastas and onions in freezer before putting into jars.

With regards to the pectin thing I seem to recall quinces are high in it and are often used to add to jams. I've got my eyes on some bushes near to me , they just let the fruit rot so I'll have to pick up some and get to planting the seeds.

Purchased some +1.5 prescription cheap reading glasses from the local wilkies for under a fiver. I don't needs them but they do fit neatish over my spectacles and can help me to get that bit closer to any real close up fiddly work I might need to do. A bit like having some extra magnification. And as my vision in general is getting a bit longer, it might be useful to have them around. Especially when it comes to reading small print and the like

This week I am drawing up a To-Do -List for my youngest daughter. She and her chap are house/garden/animal sitting whilst the Duchess and I take a holiday(can't wait, I have not had a week off let alone two in the last 3 year!)
Of course we will be away just as the runner beans are ready!

So will they be all picked and frozen for you?? Do you preserve any in jars?

Enjoy your holibobs
