PICKLING and JAMMING
Once Christmas is over and all the decorations have been put away the place always looks so bare, so empty and it's at this time I love to bring a bit of Springtime into my life. This is easy with the abundance of Spring flowers that are in every supermarket and outside the flower shops, all tempting me to buy them. I always chose yellow tulips and daffodils and of course some hyacinths to fill the house with a lovely smell. I decided to brighten up daffodils with some lemons and limes. Guess I hadn't drunk enough G&T's to use up all my citrus purchases! Also with a plan to make some lime marmalade, first attempt, I had bought in a few more, but hadn't used them all so still had my display intact. The process was quite long and I had to soak skins overnight after squeezing and removing all the pith and pips. However with no pips in the limes I made do with the pith. Two hours boiling then more
