Cooking is therapy

Unfortunately I suffered from a migraine yesterday, so was feeling a little after shocked today. My way of coping is to do some cooking.
I started gently, finishing off the green tomato chutney I started a few days ago, now I had some more lids I could put it in the jars.
We started to check the freezer last night, time to start using up some of the elderberries. I chopped up some of the mountain of apples we have on mum and dads ancient apple tree, plus some lemon juice, then boiled until lovely and soft. I strained it through a sieve lined with muslin. Quick trick, for every pint of juice add one pound of preserving sugar. I then boiled until setting point. Now I have some wonderful jars of elderberry and apple jelly. I also decided to treat my daughter and make some lemon curd, guaranteed to put a smile on your face and sort out any thickly throats.
