HARVEST OF THE WEEK

jam session
from this...

to this...

to this!


This isnt the first time we've made jam here on hml (who could forget our sticky ode to Nathan Buckley a few years back) but it is the first time we've done it with fruit straight out of our very own backyard, and with the long distance guidance of melbourne's own Supreme High Priestess of Jam the lovely Penelope Durston. As you would have noted from yesterday's post, it's come up a treat, and lovely to think I actually managed to get something done with all those apricots before the bats finally finished them off. It was actually super easy and only took a couple of hours.
So, here's Last Minute Gift tip Number One - consider taking advantage of all that awesome stone fruit around at the moment and whip up a batch for your friends, family, work mates or significant scone eater etc...

Ladies, I am trying to ignore all the lemon curd flaunting and jam making going on around here, to wish you and your big and tiny families a wonderful Christmas with a kickass load of success, luck and joy for 2010.

Much love!
