I have never made jam or preserves of any kind and was very impressed at how easy it was! I packed it in small (125mg) jars as there are only two of us. I made this yesterday afternoon and will start on the second jar today! :) Fabulous with cheese and crackers! Thank you for posting Elly!

Elly! Another winner! I made this up and bottled it in my little jelly jars, so ended up with five. It is so pretty in the jar, very delicate and rose coloured. I used it first on my cheese sandwich at lunch and found it to be a perfect addition. A nice zing, and a yummy aroma. I found a recipe using it with salmon fillets and will be trying that next! Thanks again, BB
