Jam Making

I see my friend Anne has been out Blackberry picking.
Something Geoff and I do every year as I love to make Blackberry and Apple Jam.
This week though I was given some Plums so decided to make Plum and Apple Jam.
It made enough Jam to fill six nice jars and tastes divine.
Once I acquire more plums I shall be making more Jam.
I usually end up giving most of the second batch away to friends ๐Ÿ™‚

Looking for advice…

I have talked about changing my broadband supplier for years, mainly because other people think AOL are a bad company.
But I have had no problems with AOL since Jan 2009.
I now have the death certificate to get the account into my name, I just need to get round to writing that letter.
Lately I have been thinking about not actually changing from AOL as we dont really have any problems with the internet service they provide.
Why change something if it works.
Although I see sky do a good package with the tv included, which could actually save me some money.
Trouble is I cannot find anyone that has sky broadband so I am unsure if its a good supplier.
So the question is do any of my lovely readers use sky for broadband and if so what’s your opinion, better still do any of you have the tv and broadband deal.

If truth be known I amร‚ย  scared about changing my internet supplier then having lots and lots of problemsร‚ย  ๐Ÿ™

Second batch…

This time Raspberry Vodka.
Wonder who will be the lucky person that gets some as a Christmas gift.
No begging now ๐Ÿ™‚

Taken by surprise…

I had no Idea Pandammonium was taking this photo and I really like it.
Its a most un-usual photo of me as you cannot see me smiling.
I was actually talking away about something or other but believe me i was smiling:-)

Raspberry Gin

Yesterday I intended to make some Raspberry jam but decided the Raspberries were too expensive.
Although I still got enough Raspberries to get my first batch of Raspberry Gin started,so it will be ready for Christmas.
Then today someone at work gave me some plums and next week I should have some cooking apples too.
So my plan has changed and I shall now make plum and apple jam ๐Ÿ™‚

1lb of Raspberries.
12oz Granulated sugar
75c bottle of Gin or Vodka.
