Conservation

Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it. I mean, why would I slave over a hot stove making more conserves than we can possibly eat? It tastes pretty good, but I know what will happen... Mrs H will suggest we give it to people instead of chocolates, flowers or bottles of booze when we go round for supper, drinks or parties. Can you imagine what they'll think?

'Oh no, the bloody cheapskate Hunts have brought more homemade jam. Why can't they bring a bottle like everyone else!'

So I designed a fancy label.

'A precipitation of cherry plums'

Pretentious? Moi?
