England is a garden - but then, so is every country. Wherever you live there will be some fruit or vegetable (yes - you can make jam from tomatoes and marrows)- there will be something you can make jam from. And it will be your jam - not something made in factory: you will have made it yourself, to suit your taste.We are all told to eat five a day - and your jam or marmalade can be part of that healthy diet - the food you eat to keep your body engine working at whatever you want to do.
Make a cup of tea - anytime you want. But before that, cut some thick slices of bread and spread them with your own jam or marmalade. Fold them into sandwiches and fill the hungry kids as they rush in from school - they’ll find the energy for homework!Try out my recipes, make use of the wisdom I have picked up along life’s way and then - add your own ideas and tips.Get picking, chopping, cooking - and tasting.
