My sis loves the strawberry kiwi mix and mangos sounds like gilding lilies
here, but I don't like the mixes enuf to make more than one batch. I'm
thinking a strawberry ginger jam sounds good, tho. I have some candied
ginger from last year in the freezer that might do well there. The Peach
Ginger (with fresh ginger) is just fab. OMG. It's like, to diet for, even,
like. Been thinking about the lime marmalade and telling myself to make lime
jam with only sprinkles of rind zest. Or maybe using the freezer recipe,
which I don't use because of the taste. Might preserve the perfume I'm
after...
I couldn't get the star anise seeds to spout (from the spice rack at the
store), but the fenugreek (used in curry & pickle spice & tea) sprouting
like it couldn't wait to hit the pot. Inside even. Whew. Might plant some
more just to see it spout.
