The kitchen will today be a hive of activity. Marmalade on the go. We have a quantity of clementines and sufficient jamjars for at least a first batch. A number of jars were disposed of recently in one of “our” periodic purges. Dinnae fret the ladies of church are coming to the rescue.
Had toast and marmalade for breakfast. Coincidentally. It wasn’t a matter of noting that marmalade making would be ongoing after breakfast and thinking it would be appropriate to have toast. I made the menu decision before remembering about the marmalade. Subliminal perhaps.
I reached into the fridge to get the commercially made marmalade and only realised my mistake when I was sat down and had arrived at that moment in the preparation process where I was about to spread the marmalade. It wasn’t marmalade it was pickled cucumber in a repurposed marmalade jar. Totes inappropriate. As you might imagine I swiftly rectified the sitch and fetched the marmalade and since the incident THG has moved the offending jar of cucumbers to a safe place at the back of the shelf. My upcoming Waitrose treat, btw is a jar of Bon Maman preserves. I shall choose marmalade.
You will obvs receive an update on marmalade making progress. When the time is right. No fox.
