excuses, excuses

Yesterday I collected a box of jars from Sarah in Winchester - I think the jars were really just my excuse for an evening catching up with her. I don't think I've seen her since June, so it was about time. I have mixed feelings about the jars - I am very glad to have them but I think secretly, deep down, I was enjoying the excuse of time away from the jam pan! So this evening I was able to get on with grapefruit & apple marmalade (recipe provided by Janet from w*rk) and preparing 3 batches of courgette & ginger jam from 2 giant courgettes that my allotment neighbour (Trevor) gave me on Wednesday evening. Hopefully I'll get them jammed before I go out for lunch tomorrow morning with Ann (who might bring yet more jars!). If anyone asks what extreme jam making is.... I think this is it.

The 4th of the patterns sold on eBay went in the post at lunchtime. This weekend is another free listing one, so I'll have to think what I could offer for sale.
