Home made jam

 

 

 

I've wanted to make jam for ages but when I first started looking into it I realised, fruit is expensive! It seems crazy to spend £20 on fruit to make a few jars of jam that you can buy for about £2 a jar in a shop! So with Autumn around the corner (Yay!) it seemed obvious to go out and pick my own fruit instead. It's a good year for blackberries and I easily managed to pick 1kg of them. I also added a few red currants that we had lying around and here it is. I followed a Nigella Lawson recipe for Jumbleberry jam and it was so so easy, easier than I thought, and it's delicious too! :)

Blue table DIY

I'm trying to make our home more homely and 'us' which is more of a challenge when renting. There are some many things I'm dying to do (chandelier in the bedroom!) but can't, so I'm trying to focus on the things that I can do :)

 

 

This table was £10 from the Emporium, and as you can see was boring boring boring! :) I painted it to match a few other accessories in the room and added a map under the glass to tie in with the map/travel theme :)
