Mim broke in her new Christmas presents last week. She and Caitlin baked some triple choc muffins (a packet mix) using her new wooden spoons and new silicone muffin tray. They turned out very yummy.

We managed to collect a lot of the plums from the regular plum trees and I attempted plum jam. The first attempt wasn't successful, I hadn't added enough sugar, so it turned into plum sauce (the larger squat jar). We'll use it in a chilli plum beef stirfry. Yummmm.

The second two attempts were more successful. It is sweet enough and jammy enough (although I think the last one had too much sugar, it's more of a paste consistency than jam) and Mim and Caitlin both like it.

The 'cherry tomato plums' are ripening up now, time to attempt turning them into jam.
