Lockdown Plum jam

With a freezer full of plums picked from our tree last summer, I decided it was time to do something with them.  Plus we needed the freezer space for essentials.  
Jam and a crumble (with lashings of custard, of course) are two of the best uses for plums.   On this occasion , however I decided to make jam. After searching successfully for jam sugar in the supermarket, I  managed to fill 4 jam jars and 1 miniature jar. This jam is particularity good mixed in with a bowl of porridge for breakfast and sprinkled with cinnamon.

Happy Stir up Sunday!

Today is Stir Up Sunday. The last Sunday before Advent.  I made my xmas puddings today, after soaking the fruit is brandy overnight. They are now steaming away in the slow cooker for several hours. This process makes them very moist and full of flavour. Stir-up Sunday dates back to Victorian times, when cooks prepared the Christmas pudding by stirring the mixture and adding silver coins as good luck token!
