Hello!
It rained and drizzled today. Of course it did! I did washing last night so it would be ready to go on the line early!
So I put it out anyway. The breeze between the droplets actually got them almost completely dry!!
I put the fire on late this afternoon to finish off the clothes (well, really it was for me because I was chilly and a fire is so nice!)
I accidentally did a little weeding on the trip back to the house after hanging the laundry. And picked strawberries!
I was planning on a nothing day…
Best laid plans and all that… I actually really wanted to try out making rhubarb/raspberry jam.
Have to start making use of the monstrous rhubarb plant thats thriving away down in the garden.
750g of 1cm chopped rhubarb,
500g of raspberries
1 large orange. Zest and the juice – add water to the juice to make up to 225ml
900g sugar
(13g pectin but I just squeezed lemon juice in)
You cook the raspberries, rhubarb & orange zest and juice for about 30-40 minutes until everything is mush.
Then add your sugar and pectin or lemon juice and fast boil for about 10 minutes – or until you can see its ready.
I tried a bit when it was cooled off and I really really liked it!
Looking forward to brekkie tomorrow morning! Something new for my toast!
Hope you’ve had a great day too!
Cheers!
