Nothing like a black pudding and fried egg buttie with side of bacon and sausage
I wonder how many people don't like Black Pudding because they know what it is?
I love it and was never told how it was made when I was a kid and so by the time I found out, it was too late to care as it is so yummy.
Had white pudding in Ireland and wasn't a huge fan. Not sure how that is made.
I didn't grow up with BP, and my folks never said it was good when we'd see it in the butcher window. But once I tasted it, I was hooked

I haaaate black pudding. No idea if i knew whatvit was before i tried it
it's a bit like haggis, though. Well made is awesome, poorly made is dreadful. Kinda like sausages ... cheap'n'nasty are a world away from proper butcher sausages... i fyou've only had one kind.
Note I didn't take the opportunity to joke with 'once you've had black...'
I've always liked Haggis. And I actually quite like cheap simple sausages with not too much going on - onion, white bread and t sauce. Good times.
Don't try and make em all fancy and serve them to me as a dinner, they're just snacks at kids footie
Heller’s Traditional Porkers are pretty fine!
In the smoker Heller's London Pride pork are a thing of beauty

Made some plum and lime jam the other night, tastes fantastic, but didnt quite set as well as it usually does.
Pure speculation - I was wondering as the tree didnt have as much fruit as usual, if the sugar content in the plums wasnt as high, thus not setting proper.
Gonna try a plum and chilli chutney with what is left of the plums and the chillis I just picked.
-
@taniwharugby Pectin is the setting agent which is a sugar itself, normally in the skin I think and cell walls of the fruit, so you are probably correct. You can buy it, a jam setting additive, it should be just pectin so should be a natural product (not some glue).
-
@Snowy yea I only added sugar, I've never added pectin which some recipes (and fruit) suggest you do.

Berry jams usually. Raspberries and suchlike don't have enough on their own.

New plant or second/third season?
My Rocotos are onto their 6th year! Last year was the biggest harvest. This year looks good but not as plentiful as last year.

I was supposed to, yeah. I can do again once I have an abundance again. They will thrive up north due to no frosts
