Looking back over my food blogs I realise I never write about savoury dishes. I think the main reason is I tend to be quite free with most of my ingredients (thus making it hard to write down how much I have used) and also whatever I make gets eaten right away, which doesn’t allow…
A few years ago my father-in law gave me about 2kgs of plums. I like plums but am not a fan of them cooked, so I had to look at a way of using them up other than stewing and freezing them! I heard about this book on jams and chutneys on Women’s Hour (which…
