Oops!

Imagine the scene . . .

It's New Year's Day, the fridge is still full of post-Christmas leftovers and preparations are underway for the final feast of the festive season.

There are all manner of things to drink, but someone might want a glass of rose, and it needs chilling - what to do?

I know, a few minutes in the freezer will do the trick . . .

Four days later . . . voila!



Of course, there was nothing to be done then but break out the wine glasses, although we did have to wait for it to defrost a bit.

Filling the Freezer

Spent much of the Bank Holiday weekend processing more garden produce!  Finally pulled the last of the onions / shallots - not an impressive crop I'm afraid - hopefully the leeks will do a little better.  Also dug up the last of the potatoes in the main vegetable plot.





Made up some more tomato pots, and used some of the glut of cooking apples we'd been provided with to make up some apple and chilli jelly.




The rest of the apples are chopped and in the freezer, along with a rather large bag of chopped courgettes, and 5lb of damsons that someone had given us.  Damson brandy anyone?
