Must be because they are such pretty colours.<br /><br />Wish I had seen your post before I put my order in with Lakeland. I would have bought some of that sticky stuff. What a great product.Jacqueline Meldrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05748535381400208316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509623290663629278.post-22382325587723700892011-07-25T19:45:03.816+01:002011-07-25T19:45:03.816+01:00CC - I'm glad you laughed!

Still have some redcurrant jelly left though...<br /><br />Foodycat - a) thank you! I guess it's pretty impressive given the amount of squeezing I did when you're supposed to let the stuff drip through without even stirring gently b) that Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067886984635079539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509623290663629278.post-73050876534259719382011-07-25T17:13:59.290+01:002011-07-25T17:13:59.290+01:00Lol - I feel so much better now!

I have a post for Rhubarb and Strawberry compote from about 2 months ago I never posted and I decided to wait till next year now when everything is back in season again. Lovely looking jelly, love how the light shines on it, very pretty.Chelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00939575593242980773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509623290663629278.post-32660939998686900862011-07-24T23:24:29.464+01:002011-07-24T23:24:29.464+01:00I've never played with red currants before...a...I've never played with red currants before...actually I'm not even sure I've eaten them a whole lot. This jelly looks lovely, beautiful shade of red.<br />The labels thing was driving me crazy. I'm now just putting my own string and paper label tied on so I don't have to do any more scrubbing than is absolutely necessary!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509623290663629278.post-51613048007045673072011-07-24T22:26:07.372+01:002011-07-24T22:26:07.372+01:00C, your jelly looks perfectly set!

And we cheat - we just use a colander lined with a cloth napkin and drain the liquid through that - we've never owned a proper jelly bag! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509623290663629278.post-72680049141186387772011-07-24T20:35:08.782+01:002011-07-24T20:35:08.782+01:00a) that jelly is absolutely perfect!

It would have stopped the tears of frustration I experienced trying to get a label off a jar last weekend.Alicia Foodycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931796992646884249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509623290663629278.post-88496872341377530702011-07-24T19:30:02.450+01:002011-07-24T19:30:02.450+01:00I did laugh when you describe your lack of freezer...I did laugh when you describe your lack of freezer space - mine is always full and I can't honestly account for what's in there!<br /><br />Your jelly looks lovely and has great clarityThe Caked Crusaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840224194242219981noreply@blogger.com
