My boyfriend picked ALL the fruit off my lemon tree and my navel orange tree on Saturday morning, so armed with clean bottles, cooking ingredients and utensils, we ended up spending yesterday afternoon and all day today in his kitchen.
We made over 30 bottles of Orange Marmalade:
4 bottles and 2 half cup containers of Lemon & Lime Butter:
Over 12 bottles & containers of Lemon Curd (Butter):
And when I came home from his place late this afternoon (Sunday), I made the last of the lemons into Lemon Cordial... it is soaking now to be bottled tomorrow.I was sooooo pleased with myself, knowing I had used all my fruit, no waste.
I was just finishing the washing up from the cordial making, when there was a knock on my door. It was my neighbour and she presented me these 2 bags:
OH NO!!!!Until next post...
Cheers.....Jewells
haha how funny but really you did so well good on you.
ReplyDeleteWow, I am amazed at all your preserves! What a great job! Bit funny about the neighbour though. What will you do with them? My oranges weren't very productive this year, and over the last week something has come and half-eaten almost each and every one that was left, leaving big weird bites in them. I'm thinking either bats or possums.
