My mother phoned me the other day to let me know that her neighbour had harvested some plums from the tree in their garden and they had a few leftover, if I'd like them. When I say a few, I actually mean 8 lbs!
That's a lot of jam .... even for me!
Fortunately, plum jam is one of my favorites.
I believe this is called a rolling boil.
The children felt the need to represent the family using the medium of fruit and veg:
This is my husband - can you see the likeness?
This is our eldest daughter - long and thin.
This is me - not sure I like the shrivelled lemon metaphor.
Not sure why our youngest daughter is an avocado. Her sister says it's because she is an acquired taste - sibling love?
Our dog - with his broken tail (now mended but with a permanent kink)
Gwen - with longish legs
Pam - fat and round, with short legs.
And here is some of the finished product.

Carole - this post is just fantastic! The jam, the artsy veg family, the animals - II love you all!
