The Non-Starter! 🙄🍅🫚
Before I start making any Jam or Chutney, I always check my cupboards, double-check my quantities and make sure all my dried ingredients are in date. Only the best goes into every jar! 🫙❤️
Shopping list written, ingredients sourced, and ready to get cracking! I grab the jam pan, start chopping the fresh fruit and veg, only to discover… someone in the house has been helping themselves to my fresh ginger or munching their way through the tomatoes! 🤦♀️😂
And just like that… the whole plan comes to a grinding halt!
It’s back to the drawing board, another trip into town, and a race against time to get those remaining fresh ingredients used before they start to turn. 😩
**Please tell me it’s not just me!** 😂
Who else has had a perfectly planned preserving day derailed by a missing ingredient? Or do you have a sneaky kitchen cupboard raider at home? 👀👇
