What to do with an over giant courgette – I would not name it a marrow however it was a very good dimension already.
I used to make Marrow and Ginger jam however it by no means units nicely and it isn’t a favorite anyway so I regarded in my preserving books and got here throughout………………
An odd mixture maybe however as there have been apricots left from the Christmas desserts that wanted utilizing and lemons within the freezer I made a decision to offer it a go. (Lemons from the freezer cannot be grated for the rind so I added the juice and various the pulp as a substitute)
It additionally sounded a bit boring so I made a decision to purchase some ginger and grated that in as nicely. I did not make as a lot because the recipe – the big courgette wasn’t large enough (produced 1lb ready plus 8oz apricots and 1¾ lb sugar )
Simply to verify of a set I used correct jam sugar which I might obtained in able to do Strawberry Jam later.
Quite a pleasant color. Stuffed these 3 smallish jars and half one other.
It would sound like an odd mixture however oh my goodness it is scrumptious and extra like a marmalade than jam – good and tangy. The 2 small jars had been deliberate for the two Christmas hampers – however they is perhaps stored!
(this was made per week or so in the past earlier than the climate obtained actually scorching !)
Again Tomorrow
