Dealing with the windfall
apples and pears* -
Cockney rhyming slang for stairs -
while the rain came down like stair-rods.
How apt.
Inordinate effort produced
2 jars Sarah Raven's Spiced Preserved Pears,
2 jars apple and pear purée,
2 jars sweet apple slices.
They look lovely, but will we eat them?
I'm still catering for too many people.
Yes please!
ReplyDeleteThat's the problem: despite having a dwindling family, we still remain mothers/homemakers..... I still shop for 3, I still say "we" when I mean "I" regarding my house, and more oddly, I still find myself looking for little treats for my mother when shopping, even though she died 7 years ago....
ReplyDeleteHad to skip over your spider post ... these look delicious.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of your labours; spiced preserved pears sounds wonderful. I am sure that the fruit of your labours will be eaten and enjoyed when family return and visitors arrive.
ReplyDeleteI think that they are beautiful, indeed, but they sound delicious as well.
ReplyDeleteMakes me feel so at home looking at this post, I adore domestic things like this, I look on in wonder and awe, wishing I could work magic like this too! Love Vanessa xxx
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds delicious and making it all must have been so satisfying !
ReplyDeleteOur youngest left home years ago but I'm still filling our fridge full to bursting every week and the local ducks look downright chubby on our leftover bread .
