GRANDMA’S PRESERVES

No recipes, except what she told us. She dried apricots with sulphur, raisins

Passionfruit:  About 5 were put in a non-metal container with a lot of sugar and left to thicken in the fridge – did she cook them a little first?

Tomato and plum sauces mentioned elsewhere.

Jams – apricots, apples. Berries?  In later years she gently simmered the fruit & put them in plastic icecream containers in the fridge freezer, instead of using the preserving kit.

Pickled onions – in a tall stoneware jar easily accessible to the fingers of her growing boys.

She made cordial from lemons, reduced it down with lots of sugar
