jamrobber *jam*

They don't call us the "JamRobbers" for nothing!!!
Red currants! From Granny and Granddad's garden!
When we got home after our summer holidays, they were ripe and waiting to be picked. Granny and Grandad had been saving them for us. The kids grabbed some bowls and picked those bushes clean!
After cleaning and removing the stems, they were ready to for "jamming" :)

All this from just two red currant bushes!

The first thing we made was a red currant tart. Mmmm. We had never made jam before but we wanted to give it a try. It turned out to be so easy! We're definately doing it again next year!


We gave a few away as gifts... and the rest? Well, let's just say it didn't last long around here :)

Is your mouth watering yet?
