Jams, Marmalade, Chutneys, Pickle's & Ferments

[JFB]

Yeah I'd probably give them a miss too.

Do you eat russulas at all? Always think they are a bit under appreciated by most mushroom pickers, which is fine by me, more to eat

Ooo! Not heard of them, will look them up

Made 6 jars of Kumquat marmalade, and 2.5 litres of passata, still got plenty of kumquats left going to make this later.
Kumquat and Birdseye chili infused sauce Recipe by skunkmonkey101
While in the 'Home make it' shop buying more jars, noticed they are getting into cheese making kits. Looks like they cater for all cheese varieties, English French, Italian etc about $80 for 7 kg of cheese (excluding the milk)
Made the Caerphilly once before and remembered why I chose that, it matures quicker.
Watched a couple of this guys videos last night, now wanting to get back into cheese making.

What do you get for your 80$ ?.

There is still some expense with a bar fridge for a 'cheese cave'

I seen plenty of cheese down the caves at Wookie hole in Somerset. The queen has a locked off section full of the stuff.

making strawberry jam today after nipping into Sainsbury's this week and they had packs reduced from £2 to 10p - so picked up 10 packs Not all of them made it to this weekend for jam

A mess?

Greengage jam or chutney?

I haven’t seen greengages for years

 

[Clint]

Look like gooseberries to me.

 

[Oneflewover]

A mess?

Goes without saying Clint!

Greengage jam or chutney?

I haven’t seen greengages for years

They're green walnuts, I'm in the (long-winded) process of pickling them.

I've got a greengage tree in the garden, but there's not much fruit on it this year and it'll be another six weeks before they are ripe. They're absolutely delicious, but they go over quickly so most do get turned into jam

Just had my first go at fermenting veg. Butternut squash, carrot, onions, celery, garlic.. bit of a tutti frutti. The man from del monte he say yes!
