Bottling

The plum tree in our garden is as they say 'heaving' with plums, last year as I have stated before we were in Denmark so missed the crop. This year I am attempting to find different ways to preserve them. Today as Graham was busy helping John H put in the second new window, I decided to attempt to bottle some. I had thrown out my Kilner jars ages ago, bought the last two in my local store yesterday as to get them via the internet could take up to fourteen days and I need them now. Started the process after pouring over many preserving books and the internet, eveyone has a different idea, unfortunatly with one of the jars I didn't read the intructions correctly and the jar cracked. The other one survived and the plums look delicious, the ones from the cracked jar are now in the freezer. Tomorrow attempting to preserve through drying!
John arrived about 0930 we were just up and running, breakfast then I took the wonder dog a walk up to the post box, we went over the wee bridge and he spent time sniffing out the rabbits! Christine gave me some jam jars for jam or cucumber relish.
The new window looks good makes the front of the house look great.
Spoke to Layla they are ok, Corrina and Sadie went to the playgroup with her and Bella today.
Spoke to mum she appears to be fine.
Baked potatoes for dinner with a lovely tomato, courgette and bean sauce, also tinned salmon on bread lovely.
Just going to have a cuppa then bed. Bye.
