What vampires eat for breakfast

'My God!' you might think. 'This is surely taking method acting a bit too far!' (see previous post)


Mmmmm...delicious....
This is the most amazing jam I have ever made.

'But what about the poor victim?'
None other than this unremarkable..........

...........Peach, which when it is cut open reveals an unusually red-tinged flesh.

All summer long these peaches have remained resolutely unripe and then suddenly a couple of weeks ago, after we had some rain, they started to plump up and fall from the tree. The resulting jam is an incredible ruby red colour with a distinctly peachy flavour.

Now, I must stop playing with the kitchen knife and get back in my coffin.

Before I go I will pass on this award, which I was delighted to receive earlier this week.

So Cheeky Lemur this is for you!

  4. Oh would that peaches would grow here - i love the sound of that peachjam. Amazing that it should turn out such a colour. I did make some peach chutney (from bought peaches) and it is delicious but turned our a rather odd coloour.
