And plum jam too

Yesterday I picked half the plums from the trees in the top garden. I guess there are about 12 kilos on the two young trees that we've been trying to revive for the past three years. Now this is a slight problem, since here in France at this time of year there is always a jam-sugar crisis. Hence Ali coming back from Champion-the-wonder-store this morning beaming because she'd managed to get the last 5 kilos in the shop. Now we have to find a source for the rest. I think I'll leave the remaining plums on the tree until we've found more sugar.

Nice plums though.



And the result - 16 perfect jars of tart plummy jam - unless it sets like glue as the strawberry jam did earlier in the year.
