Leather britches

Well, the plum ish leather is dehydrating happily. Trying it with clingfilm instead of baking parchment this time. I do like a change.
So, bank holiday Monday and it's raining. Every other year we would have gone to gressenhall museum as re-enactors. This year I'm just not feeling like dressing up. Maybe it's down to the rotund tummy after the op, not even sure if my dressing up dresses fit!
I've had a little search and found a pear and raspberry pie recipe, will be giving that a try this week as I have a lot of pears that need to find a use!

Plumtastic fairy

Well, there were some green gages left on the tree that I hadn't sold and a few little vics.  And some other tiny plums that I have no idea what they are, add some windfall apples then cook it all up together.  Next I'll zizz it up (after removing all the stones) then it'll be spread in the dehydrator. I have added  little bit of sugar but not too much as it concentrates as it dehydrates.  Ds like plain apple leather so this should give him a flavour  change. Ds is still doing his traineeship. He had a whole week, full time and he was knackered! Bless him:)
And how sad am I...I have been playing Hay day! It's how I wish my Ickle farm was! This little kid inside me would love to have a tea shop...and a sweetie shop! Hey, even at my age I can have dreams s:) mainly because I love sweeties and I really enjoy baking, and eating.

Raspberry fairy

Mommy lady sent me a ball canning book. In the book was a recipe for raspberry pie filling.  Trouble is it needed something called clear gel. Mommy bought me some and sent it, all the way from the USA. So this post is a mommy lady thank you:) the raspberry pie filling is incredible,  the clear gel turned it into thick gloop like you get in cans, and I made it using the raspberries I froze earlier in the year. The flavour is phenomenal! The colour is great too! Truely yummy.  By the way if there are a lot of spelling mistakes it's this daft touchscreen keyboard and it's predictive text thing! BBS x

Chilly fairy

I have been a very lax fairy and I'm going to blame getting used to a touchscreen keyboard! Hopefully I have managed to attach a picture of the apples and pears I panic picked last night as the temperature dropped! I woke up at 5th and went out to check the thermometer, down to 5 degrees...brr!  If I get this right I'll show you what I've been canning this time.
