I have in the past done chutneys and pickles - I loooove pickled onions so much I try to make my own, and when I do they keep really well for 2 yrs.
My mum used to make loads of jams & jellies, and I grew up with 'real' jam.... I dislike modern shop jam as it always has glucose or fructose syrup in. It kind of makes it taste TOO sweet or just the WRONG kind of sweet, if you have been used to traditional.
I love looking out for jumble sales and WI markets as I know I can get home-made real jams & chutneys there are reasonable prices.
Right - thanks for the nudge.... have 2kg pickling onions in the cupboard, spices etc but need to get them all done soon!
