I cut up the veggies and made another batch of ratatouille
I’ve frozen three containers for use in the slow cooker during winter
I’ve kept some cucumbers to have fresh and the rest is in these jars
I don’t mind doing small batches. It’s much easier on my sore legs and back.
I had made some orange and lemon jam a while ago. But it never really set properly and
No one was eating it on bread. So I’ve been using it to make cake
These will go to the workshop for morning tea
I used the last of the jars today
I’ve got some other jars of different flavoured jams so I’ll continue to use them to make cakes
It’s one way of using up everything you have
Having a little rest before I continue doing bits and pieces
In between jobs I sit and crochet a few more rows on my Athena blanket
The dishwasher has just yelled out, it needs emptying
So off I go again
How do you use the jam in the cakes? I am intrigued.
ReplyDeleteThe jam I used didn’t set. So it was like a thick liquid. I just tipped it all in and then added milk till it looked right.
DeleteI guess normal jam would be the same. Add to dry ingredients mix and then add milk until you get the correct consistency
Sounds like you are a natural baker whereas I need a recipe or it ends up inedible!
DeleteI use up my old jam on cakes too. There are loads of recipes around. Jam rock cakes are a favourite here. And spoons of orange marmelade go well in meat dishes.
ReplyDeleteYouve been very resourceful . Your past few posts on your garden and it's bounty have been marvellous
I’ve made your jam cookies. They’re really yummy.
Deletecakes look so good. I do bits and pieces of house work. at 80 that's the way I get it done
ReplyDeleteYup. Just go slow. It all gets done in the end
DeleteLooks like you been busy in the kitchen
