Straberries and eldeflowers
Been a very busy girl today ... went of strawberry picking this morning ... got back late this afternoon after having done a ton of other stuff ... made jam put strawbs into gin and bottled Elderflower cordial ... one lot in glass for use now and the rest in plastic bottles for freezing ... and I spent ages looking for bugs for the dimijohns I tidied them away the other day .... can't find the bleddy things now .. so replacement in the morning ... please excuse the kitchen roll in cling film acting as a bung for the night

Industrious day! Hope someone helped cleaning up after you did all the hard work.
Re: Straberries and eldeflowers
Wow! That's quite a bit of work

SE, you're supposed to leave the gin in with the strawberries, not bloody drink It

Re: Straberries and eldeflowers
well done you, my elderflowers are not even blmooming yet due to the weather; hopefully this weekend (but I said that last weekend and they remained steadfastly closed).
2010 is my year of projects - 365 days and 365 projects.

Re: Straberries and eldeflowers
That all looks lovely! Might be an odd question, but what kind of pen did you use to write on the jars?

Re: Straberries and eldeflowers
not an odd question .. I discoverd the idea in a shop that sells loose alcohol and you choose the fancy bottle ... The young lass as it was Scotland let me look and suggeted a cook shop... and thats where I found my first one then I discovered the very same thing it Rymans I think... when you write with them careful not to smudge and it stays put until you wash the jar then it come straight off ... It's called ..Pilot super colour, permanent ink type ... thats all it says on it and the fact that it silver... its the sort that has a ball inside that rattles whe you shake it. That should get you the right onebean gardenin' wrote:That all looks lovely! Might be an odd question, but what kind of pen did you use to write on the jars?

Re: Straberries and eldeflowers
You should have told me before ... I wanted it a really deep colour this year so decided not to put as much with that amount of strawbs... Then there will be more picking and ginning next week as I really like strawberry gin ... well any gin.... acually alcohol in most forms reallyMKG wrote:SE, you're supposed to leave the gin in with the strawberries, not bloody drink It

Re: Straberries and eldeflowers
Funny isn't it, I noticed that yesterday but now you've mentioned it I've only just noticed the R missing from elderflowers too. It's just wierd how some mistyped words stick out and others don't. This is an observation and not a pop at your spelling!Silver Ether wrote:oh that would be me ... and I went out to help WR wash the Bongo... phew no wonder I was knackered last night Oh and poss the reason why I missed the "w" out of the titleSuzieV wrote:Industrious day!

Re: Straberries and eldeflowers
Mmmmmm, that strawberry gin looks yummy. Do you literally just plonk strawberries in a jug of gin and leave it to do it's thing? I might have to have a go at that (sounds about my level of skill!). How long do you leave it for before you can drink it? And how long will it last for in it's big jug? (And I mean, without the 'as long as it takes you to drink it' jokes.... )

Re: Straberries and eldeflowers
All looks delish and I didn't notice either typos but do like the pen and your handwriting very much.
