Winter preserves

During the week I decided to use up some of the Redcurrants in the freezer. I used 1 kg to make some Redcurrant Jelly. I used a thermometer to test for setting point ....but unfortunately when I tested some on a saucer it seemed a little too stiff! Well we'll just have to see what it's like when we open a jar.

My friend Julie gave me a jar of the Seville Orange Marmalade she has made to try....so I'm looking forward to that as a change from my own three fruit Marmalade.
