Time for Jammin'....

Yesterday we picked the strawberries, raspberries, blackcurrants and gooseberries that have grown in abundance in our small garden. Time to make jam for the next fair ( Groby Street Fair and Ceilidh on 25th June) I've designed some lovely labels, all cut out and ready to be pasted on the jars, which are sorted ready to be washed and sterilized. I love making jam... it's really therapeutic... and these filled sparkling jars fill me with a great sense of pride and achievement, specially when, on the stall, customers come back for more. Sometimes we get regulars who remember us from other fairs, and who have bought from us in the past. At least jam smells LOVELY when it's cooking - not like the overpowering eye-watering chutney pongs !!!!!



               VERY BERRY.....a combination of strawberry, raspberry & blueberry.

                                                   Nicely finished and ready for the stall !
