Squids and necks

AW HELLS YES.

I finished one of the squid necklaces. It's pretty rocking, innit?


It'll be on Etsy soon, yes it will. I think I need to buy a neck form to do good photos on...It's hard to do selfies. Also I hate doing selfies. So I think a neck form is what it'll be.

ROCK ON, ETC.

Rosemart's Ginger Apricot Jam

Holy crap!

Been a while, hey?

What have I been doing? What HAVEN'T I been doing!

But today I will tell you about Yesterday's Jam.

Technically not made yesterday. I just wanted to made an obscure pop culture reference.

It's Rosemart's Ginger Apricot Jam. I'd been passing through the Okanogan Valley, and found a sale on apricots, so bought WAY more than I could eat, because apricots.

The colour is not lies. That is for reals.

YOU MUST ALSO MAKE THIS JAM:

Rosemart's Ginger Apricot Jam

4 cups chopped, unpeeled apricots (about 9 large)
1/3 cup lemon juice (if you want it less lemony, use 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and the rest plain water)
3 1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 pack pectin
6" piece of ginger, peeled and grated

Put apricots in pot. Put lemon juice in pot. Put sugar in pot. Put pectin in pot. Take grated mass of ginger in your hands, and crush it like the skulls of your enemies, squeezing all that delicious enemy juice into the pot. Yell something appropriate, like "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!". Discard the pulp.

Cook on high for 5 minutes, then reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes. Pack into steralized jars and boil jars for 20 minutes. (Makes approximately four 250ml jars.)

Stuff in face. Burn self. Learn.
