In a jam, pickled, frozen, well preserved and other culinary triumphs

Sort of a cool climate guava @Bunniekins. In the same general family as guavas, but a more cold tolerant species. They've got a nice tangy flavour, make excellent jam and jelly, also good for eating fresh. The skin is tangier than the flesh, some people like it, some don't.

@Smc Thanks Smc xx:)

thats for the tag Shaz... I'm going to make pumkin jam tomorrow... last count 34 pumpkins...

I'll let you know how it goes!

Pumpkin jam @SJT63 , that sounds interesting

What in it apart from pumpkin xx

I have made pumpkin pie and pumpkin soup

I like butternut pumpkin

@Shaz51

1.5kg pumpkin, cubed

2 oranges - juice and zest

1kg sugar

1tspn each ginger, nutmeg & cinnamon

I plan to use the stick blender to make it smoother before it comes to setting point and then let it finish cooking.

Just saw this bbc clip about Aussie brewers ... using algae ... kind of on topic do you think??

very pleased with the colour and consistency of the pumpkin jam

not sure if I like it... it does taste just like pumpkin pie... but like most jam, I find it a bit cloying.

It will probably be nice on a crusty loaf with butter as opposed to tasting it on a spoon.

Looks great.

Well done @SJT63 , how much did you make
