My little jam sweatshop

So, it appears that my jam making prowess is starting to spread. I've recently gained a 'contract' (of sorts) where a local car yard wants to buy about 80 jams per month off me for their gift packs they give away when someone buys a car from them.

It's great to have such a regular demand...but it sucks having to spend so many hours sweating away in the kitchen!

Jam-making fruit is a little scarce at the farm at this time of year, so I've been scouring local farm gates for other offerings.

I picked up three dragonfruit, two bags of mandarins, two bags of passionfruit and 6 bags of apples this morning...so I have a big day ahead of me.

If anyone is keen to join my little sweatshop (emphasis on the sweat - it's really humid here this time of year!) feel free!
