I make the same amount every year and there is one jar left from last year so it only just enough, but for me the maker its plenty Back to top Knobby Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 6707 Location: North Warwickshire Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2006 1:21 pm    Post subject: Blimey.......2 jars would last me a year !!!

I made some wine last year, which has come out out more like a liquer.

You wont know half of whats going on Good luck with all the preserving girls, I make lots of strawberry jam,about 25lb last summer but have never made cape gooseberry AC. I did buy a packet of seeds a few years ago but they got left in the greenhouse and mice had them Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         The Poultry Keeper Forum Index -> Crafters Corner All times are GMT + 1 Hour Page 1 of 1 Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
