I really enjoy making jams, chutneys and relishes. Nothing beats the thrill of cooking
up the latest in-season produce and knowing you will have it stored
in the pantry ready for use later in the year.
Make your preserves when the fruit and vegetables are in season and
then they will be cheaper.
Last summer I made enough tomato ketchup to last us about three
years. We grew the tomatoes ourselves which makes it taste
even nicer. I keep a few
jars back especially to give away to friends. These jars are
beautifully labelled and have little rounds of pretty fabric
secured to their tops. My teenage daughter, Hayley, helps me
in this area as she is quite artistic. If someone arrives
unexpectedly with a gift then we have something special to give back
to them.
