    @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

    got a couple of new cook books for chrissy by a gun american barbequer. well, not so much cookbooks as bibles, for smoking, and a whole one just for steak.

    cooked a couple of grass fed strip steaks last night using a couple of their tips. salted the meat in the morning then didn't cook until 7.30. cooked straight from the fridge. turned them every minute.

    best steak i ever cooked. gonna study this book a bit harder. and might need to buy a 3rd BBQ

    My brother in law went to his place and bumped into him outside the loos. Said he was super humble and even got him his food personally

    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 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!

    Can you get those here?

    Precious Porkers in Kent is the best sausage I've had in the UK by a country mile. And 2 city miles.

    I used to get back a fair bit, and Hellers is what we used to buy up near Matakana for BBQ.

    Precious Porkers look great, but seem only to sell via farmers’ markets?
