Old Jelly


We had a lovely roast pork on the webber for tea the other night and Rose found this jar of Plum and Apple jelly that my Grandmother had made for us dated 3/96!!! I have no idea how it has managed to follow us through two house moves. It is older than Declan! I'm afraid to say that unlike a fine wine it had seen better days.... It did however bring back many memories of her fantastic cooking and even looking at her handwriting on the label was rather poignant.

Amazing to think that Mum was still making her jam at 91! Not sure that jam is like a fine wine though!

yes it had a STRONG flavour but i can't say that it was nice... you could tell that if we had had it in, say 97, it would have been wonderful...
