I've plonked it in the fridge for now, may have a go tomorrow at thinning it down.

If the taste is acceptable, the jam could be diluted until it can be sieved, then frozen as ice lollies or cubes to flavour spirit or water drinks. If the flavour is too much like dishwater after dilution, a spot of orange cordial and lemon juice can work wonders.

No need to apologise! It made me smile thinking of that poor Muslim trying to pass my saucepanful of bullet-hard crab apples!

I've got a couple of kilos of diced mixed vegetables brining for Picallili. There are courgettes, onions, red and green peppers carrots, cauliflower florets and green beans.
I'll make the mustard, turmeric, vinegar and sugar base when M goes to chess club because although he likes to result he can't stand the smell of it cooking :roll:

After a woeful season for cucumbers, in which my first two sowings failed and we were away when I should have sown the third lot, we finally got a crop of Crystal Lemon. I made a batch of cucumber relish yesterday, with homegrown cues, peppers and onions.
