@DCUKMod oh the memories your recipe brings back! When I was a kid, not yet a teen, we used to make strawberry jam out of what were at the time very flavorful, sweet, small, redredred berries (haven't seen that kind in forever; it's all about transportability and size now, even local berry farms). The smell was so happy-making! Mom generally used added pectin and a fraction the sugar: better for our growmerican fridge freezersing teeth! And cheaper. I came to hate that annual task of hulling the dang berries one by one by one by one.... they were very small....
@ianpspurs "a frig" implies more, as with other appliances.
@DCUKMod and
@Tipetoo how do y'all stand on that one?
And Ian so so happy for little Fifi's mama and daddy and the gparents etc. Safe journey, and carry our congratulations with you!
@BibaBee sympathy to MrB re the vision and consequent blues. Ugh. I second the notion that he should come here while you're gadding about.
