I was given 2 kilos of very ripe, very soft apricots.
So, in preparation for my #BFCR2 goal not to eat sugar Mon-Fri, I made jam. It's just ripe apricots and gelling agent (pectin). No added sugar. And it tastes devine!!!!

Need to check out the book @Mitch blurbed about a few days ago. I also have tons of veggies that I could turn into pickles.
Cathythoughts Looks divine 5y
julesG @Cathythoughts Thanks! (and I see my spelling mistakes/autocorrect problem) 5y
alisiakae Good luck on the no sugar goal! Great preparation. I‘m continuing with that, but worded mind differently in round 2 to focus on what i am adding more of to my diet. 5y

cobwebmoth Yum! Homemade jam is so good! 5y
julesG @4thhouseontheleft I saw that. It's a good idea. - I don't have to change much about my diet. I live relatively sugar free already. But thought sugar free jam might be good, I can add it to plain yogurt,... 5y
tournevis Have pectin, will jam! 5y
IamIamIam OMG... 🤤🤤🤤 That sounds spectacular!!!!! 5y
julesG @tournevis Yep, a bit like that. 😀 5y
julesG @cobwebmoth @IamIamIam It is. I could have eaten it hot from the pot. 5y
rockpools Impressed already! 5y
julesG @RachelO Don't be. I'm just against wasting food and tried to make the best of the situation. Now I just need to find out what to do with fennel, mushrooms, bell pepper, courgettes and tomatoes. 5y
jenniferw88 Ratatouille with everything except for mushrooms & fennel? 5y
Itchyfeetreader Oven bake the bell peppers then skin and Slice with garlic and sherry vinegar! 5y
julesG @jenniferw88 @Itchyfeetreader Thanks! Both good ideas. 5y
hes7 Yum! 😋 5y
batsy Gosh! That looks so good. 5y
julesG @hes7 @batsy I'm definitely not sharing. Talked to my kids on the phone and told them it tastes disgusting, but I'd have to eat it because I just can't waste food. 👿 5y
batsy 😂👌🏽 5y
Mitch That‘s so funny. Today I went to the market and the author who wrote that book has a stall. I was chatting with her and bought a jar of her new batch of apricot and amaretto jam. We just had some on oatcakes. Divine! 5y
julesG @Mitch Wait, what?! She has a market stall? Where? Chatsworth Road? I guess I need to come visit soon. 5y
Mitch @julesG Broadway Market - just off Mare Street. She started out on a market stall before she hit the big time and has kept the market stall going 5y
julesG @Mitch I might have bought from her without knowing it. 😱 5y
