When our kids were young and hollow legged, they ate vast amounts of
bread and jam, all of it home made from our garden fruit; plums, damsons,
strawberry and rhubarb.

Now they are away and I don't grow much fruit, I don't bother making
jam but I do make all our marmalade, enough to last a year of breakfasts,
in an annual marathon in January.... several different sorts. This years
were orange, grapefruit, whisky, orange and pineapple, and orange and
lemon.

I also make lemon curd occasionally, maybe a couple of times a year; it
doesnt keep so we eat it fresh.
