Jam

I bought a big box of strawberries and raspberries on Monday, way too much for us to eat even though we tried hard.


In the end there was still nearly a kilo left so I decided to turn them into jam. I added a few frozen raspberries to make up a kilo. Just added special jam sugar, a bit of vanilla essence and a few leaves of mint. Cooked for a few minutes and that's it. Very nice and not too sweet jam, just the way we like it.

Yesterday Big Monkey and I made little sticky tartlets with Rollo's and chocolate buttons. There was quite some maths involved, so we felt like did something meaningful rather than creating something sweet, good for the soul but not the waistline...


There were 24 we made and this is what's left over this morning...

Now it's lunch time and it is gone. And it was yummy.
