Cooking

Made Smoked Mackerel pate today, easy to make and keeps well in the fridge (unless eaten by husband!)
We have a small grape vine in the garden, planted about 3 years ago, NO grapes for 2 years, last year we had a few tiny bunches, this year better but unfortunately the wasps beat us to the harvest and we were left with about 1.5kg of usable grapes, quite nice to eat but some very small and they have pips in them.

So..... not enough to make wine LOL! but enough to make some Grape Jelly using a recipe from an American Cookbook I have in my Vintage Recipe Book Collection along with my treasured illustrated Mrs Beeton.
