Things I made earlier and forgot about...

Our small amount of jam was not going to last for all of winter so I made another batch:

Thawed blackberries were sieved to remove their pips, they were added to a 1lb portion of thawed pureed apple. The appropriate amount of sugar and water, gave us another 3 jars of delicious jam.

The chocolate sloe vodka has been sieved and returned to its jar. It will shortly be decanted into small bottles as gifts:

Now the more serious Christmas baking and meal making will get underway shortly!
