The jam making season begins

The arrival of the first rhubarb crops heralds the arrival of the jam making season. So far we've make rhubarb and orange jam and rhubarb, ginger and apple jam. We swapped some eggs for more rhubarb yesterday at our swapping event so more jam making will be coming up (though pie making may be on the agenda as well). I also have some gooseberries in the fridge which I picked near the start of June so won't last much longer if they aren't used up. They will go into gooseberry and elderflower jam.
