Chilli jam is very nice.
Have you discovered any new preserves, lately?
(, Tue 16 Jun 2009, 12:02, archived)
I very nearly started a thread about jams and preserves
but thought better of it cos it'd be a fat girl starting a thread about food.

I'd have thought so,
but you try explaining "purpose" to a supermarket manager.
