Long day, but everything is done.

[Giles]

Batch number 6.  My little tree has yielded 20Kg of fruit so far, and frankly, it looks like I've picked nothing…..

Call Naboaco Giles, they may use some for increased Fig Newton production.

[Giles]

I've got a shit load of figs too 

[goosehd]

I love the smells of fall canning and throw in a few loaves of fresh baked bread and I think it is heavenly!!

I bet your house smells divine G!

[Giles]

When I'm cooking jam, P seems to hang around the kitchen more than normal  ;).  There are certain things that I cook, and I do not use the extractor…..Jam and bread being the main two.  I like the house to be infused....

I'm absolutely the same when baming anything. Also a good stew. People pay good money for these smells (maybe?)

[goosehd]

Simmering… Thanks G!!

[Giles]

Looking lovely…....

[goosehd]

And finished… :). It is very good!!

[Giles]

Looks great - I hope you were heavy-handed with the cardamon and star anise 

[goosehd]

  But of course!!  It is most excellent and the house smells great…Thank you very much!!

I've been burned too many times by not seasoning to taste.  Old spices, conservative amounts used in recipes, etc.

Learned the best way to prepare any dish is to cook to taste (and then add a pinch more  :D).
