Hi Toddy,
Can you set up a simple solar still with lots of tin foil and cook your jams that way? Maybe set it up on a frame which you can move round as the sun moves round?
Nice to be back xx
Hello Stranger
long time no see; I hope life's treating you well
Hadn't thought of a solar still.....well it's Scotland, y'know ? thon big yellow hot ball thingie isn't a usual feature of the sky.
Honestly George today was just too hot to think about clever ideas
I seperated the blackcurrants into Queens, pies, and jelly berries, and just froze them in bags. The rasps just keep coming, they're still setting out flowers, and we've had cranachan so often even I'm a bitty scunnered with toasted oats.
It's been a truly marvellous year for fruit; here's hoping that winter isn't a white out.
Orric, that truly sounds like hell. I know the beaton's jackets are good, but in this heat they'd have been a misery. Clegs...the reason why the de'il's called the lord of flies.
