So long since I smelled cooking Blueberries in my house-been in this place almost 20 years and never done anything with them.

Last year I swore that this year I'd find some on special somewhere and Do Something -Lo & Behold there were 5# cases for only $6.99 @ a local discounter so I snagged a couple and hauled them back-waistline doesn't need pastry so jam it was and What a Smell!!!

In the end 19 x 250ml jrs for 14 bucks plus a pittance for sugar (I use very little).

It's just freezer jam so it's a tad runny but I can live with that.

Next up is Blackberry but I'll need to buy some more jars I suppose.

Anyone else making jam this year?

Picking blueberries (in the wild) has always been popular here. They're also sold along the roads from local villagers.
The two favourites from my childhood: macaroni blueberry soup and bluberries with sourcream and sugar.
If there was any surplus that would go to blueberry jam.

I decided this year that I had too much of a backlog of jam to make any more until I ate up or gave away at least half of what's on my shelves.

Blueberries are good for your memory. So I bought some blueberry liqueur for my Grandma.

I've never found fig jam in the shops so people in my family sometimes make that and I steal a few jars.

I analyse writing for a living, hnth/DD. I find Chomsky fascinating. Yourselves?

I've always assumed you found us fascinating, tony, but I can't say for sure.

I occasionally edit for a living, Tony. I've only briefly encountered Chomsky so I'm guessing I'm missing an allusion/insinuation? And democracy is over-rated.

What is freezer jam?

Agreed, hatz: take Thatcher: the Lady had a landslide victory when two-thirds did not vote for her.

As a socialist, I'm in favour of a benevolent dictatorship :)
