Yummy

Last night we made more jam This time it was Lemon and Marrow – the recipe came from my mum:

2 lb prepared marrow (at least 5lb unprepared)
2 lb sugar
1/2 lb butter or marge (butter best)
3 lemons, juice and rind

Cut prepared marrow into inch cubes; steam and mash. Put all into preserving pan, then simmer and stir frequently for 15 – 20 minutes, until thick. Jar.

Will keep one year. Makes 4 – 5 lb.

We sacrificed our largest overgrown courgette – it weighed 7lb unprepared, and all but 6 lb prepared! We now have many many jars of it, and it’s gorgeous (a bit like lemon curd, but much easier to make).

FYI – Adam is still upset about the seatbelt issue.

I’m still really cross with myself for having missed Secret Pal 6 – please, please, please will someone alert me in time for SP7?

Meanwhile I’m trying to make a list of projects that I want to complete by Christmas:
1) All my WsIP (see pics below) – I’m making fairly good progress on the jumper and the soakers, but I do need to crack on with them.
2) A cardigan for my goddaughter – maybe Haiku , but then I’ve already made it twice, so perhaps it’s time for something different.
3) Mary, Joseph and Jesus from Sirdar’s “The Nativity Collection” (sorry, can’t find a link) – ooh and a donkey – I’ve really fallen in love with the donkeys! (My plan is to then add another character every year – we’ll see!)

Anyway, enough of this chitter chatter – I’d better go and get those needles moving.
