Sadly I am still at work. It's been a bit of a crazy week for me here and I'll be working all weekend.
I had hoped to write a bit about the fun I had making jams and butters with my sister and
The Jolly Fox but work is keeping me busy and I can't write much.
We had a great time a few weeks ago making fig and pluot based jams. We often found recipes for plum jams and subbed pluots in place of plums. We made an apple pear butter as well.

Spiced Fig Jam |
We got our fruits from the local farmers market and they were so fresh. These jams & butters have been a huge hit so far. Everyone who has tasted them has enjoyed them. The only problem not enough!

Apple Pear Butter & Fig Jam |
Yum, I've never made jam or fruit butters. Will you be posting the recipes? Especially for the apple pear butter - sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous colours. It's almost a shame to eat them.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of all your figs. They're always so hard to find here. I saw them once and poof, they were never to be seen again. I would love to have a bottle of that apple pear butter, I bet it tastes amazing.
