Hello my dears. Spring is here and last week I decided to make some conserves for charity stall at the fun run. I was reminded of last summer when I made a whole batch with the plums from Ken-next-door’s tree. My jam pan was almost frothing over! I’d just done the wrinkle test and realised I’d used almost all my seals and pretty cloth covers. In the end I only had three jars to donate and Ken and I were spooning for the rest of the year from my largest Tuperware. This is my painted memory called

“The Day I Ran Out Of Jam Rags” (2018).
