The lovely Sarah, aka Supersprout, once told how to bottle fruit in the oven rather than in a pressure cooker. I have searched, but can I find it? Can I heck. Now, if she were here, rather than gardening where weeds never grow, I could ask her, but as she isn't, I ask you kind folk if you can find it, or advice me.
I was on the allotment today and my Jerusalem artichokes she sent me just before she died are growing like triffids! Thing is, try as I might, I can't stand them, but they grow in her memory, and do have lovely flowers, and it is something I can give away....to those who like having comedy wind. ;D
Thanks all.
Is this the one you were looking for?

Weequinie, I could kiss you. :-* I can now be found in the kitchen preparing buckets full of scrumped pears and plums ready for bottling. ;D
I would not dream of saying anything that treads on Supersprouts advice but this method of bottling is no longer considered safe,and I would srongly suggest you read the info on it in the new light of day..
Please read it.
with respect Jeannine
