Good afternoon everybody from a warm HB - not too bad only 24deg
Popeye when we were kids my Mum used to say she could make something out of nothing - I can remember Dad bringing home big cans of peaches that his drivers dented in transit and of course Dad didn’t have insurance so he would have to pay Watties for them - in the winter she would open a can of the peaches and make half into peach chutney which was absolutely fantastic on mutton and the rest she would make into jam or pie filling - she served it often so I am thinking it probably didn’t last long but there were 7 of us plus the odd driver or two on their way somewhere - her crumble cooked in the wood stove was beautiful - she would make two and send one over to the neighbour who had cows to swap for cream - can remember on the way home dipping my finger in the cream- no wonder we are all on the large side -
