Day 141- Jam

20 May 2012- Kiwi and pear jam.  Provided you cook it long enough, pear jam can be quite sweet, and sets well, so less sugar required!

Day 28- Just peachy

28 January 2012- We bought two trays of peaches from a fruit shop, with the intention of making some jam. It turned out to be a bit more than we thought- two batches of jam, a peach cake and grilled peaches, and we still had to throw half a tray away because the peaches went bad after a few days! The peach jam recipe is the Maggie Beer one from the cook and the chef.

Day 345- Carrot Jam

11 December 2011- We are trying to find uses for the many fruit and vegetables hiding in the fridge. Carrot jam. I have had a variation on this at a restaurant in Brisbane, but clearly a different recipe from ours.

Day 100 - Chiles

10 April 2011- We bought a bag of chiles to make plum sauce, and ended up with some nice frozen chopped chiles, which then became watery chile mess when the fridge died later in the month. They look so cheerful and pretty here!
