The Good Life ?

Very suburban-earth-mother this evening.   
After watering the broad beans, pumpkins, courgettes, lettuce, beetroot, cabbage and sunflowers (with Thunderthighs’ help) I made about 8lb of blackberry, rhubarb and blackcurrant jam whilst liquidising another 2.5lb of blackberries and putting them through a sieve onto icing sugar preparatory to making an attempt at sorbet tomorrow.
Mr Melodeon  Impressive!
Ms Telyn  Very humbled by your efforts...
Darklady  Blackberries! They're early!!
Ms KA  Domesticated godess!!!
Henlady  My class always loved your jam at brunch- and staff often popped in when they smelled the toast!
Bess Cavalier  I've got a tub of half made pear and blackberry jam from last year in the freezer!  
Really must find time to finish it off before the preserving season really gets under way.  
Must get some nectarine vodka on the go as well!
Bentonbag  The blackberries are last year's from the freezer - we didn't have the time 
(or energy) to do anything with them last year.  Mind you there are nice big green fruit on our early red-blackberry so they're not so far off!
Darklady  I finally realised that! I've still got sloes & hips from last year
Miss Fiddle  Ben, we're dancing at the Cumberland on Thursday and I have some jars - do you want them?
Bentobag  No thanks - I'm working my way through the collection in the garage ....
Later  The sorbet works!
So does the jam.
Darklady  Yippee!
