    Thanks Bran :), I had to say it was nice, have you ever seen a taste test on a tv cooking show where the result wasn’t absolutely delicious? I was also showing off the crunchiness of my artisan bread. I wish you were here to try it with me. I’m making it now with the best flour, rain water & my sea salt plus yeast. I’m amazed at the results, if I do say so myself. ok, I’ll catch ya later. bye:o)

    Thanks Brandi :) Sadly not. Only a few from that bush, I seem to be getting a lot more from my garden vulunteers. Maybe there’s something lacking that makes the bush produce heaps of fruit.

    Thanks Trev, we’re going to be using pectin next time instead of jamseta, apparently it’s much cheaper. I’m getting a buildup of strawberries & mulberries in the freezer from my garden to make some jam.I’m only getting a few of each each day.The blue-tongue lizard likes the strawberries also & it’s our first crop of mulberries,I made a mistake of pruning the mulberry tree.There’s only berries on the old growth,I’ll know better next year.ok, bye mate.

    Lovely video as always mate. I do make a bit of jam every year, usually strawberry. I like to use Pectin since really reduces the amount of time it needs to cook. Cheers.

    Hi Mika, thanks for that. I’m not all that much of a sweet person. Very little in a cake shop does anything for me.I don’t eat any donuts,especially iced donuts.Although I do use a bit too much ginger syrup in my coffee.Also I forbid Wilma bringing home chocolate & lollies,I tend to eat too many:) Christmas is always a bad time, there’s always chocolate coated peanuts around. ok, bye.

    Love your recipes, But I am starting to think you have a real sweet tooth :)

    Thanks Mike, It’s quite tough but it’s a cousin to ginger with a completely different flavor.It had a beautiful fresh flavor. I normally put ginger & lemon in my jams, but I thought,”why not try lemongrass & galangal instead”.I normally discard both when eating my tomyum soups,so I did the same with the jam.You may be able to find fresh galangal with the turmeric & ginger at a larger fruit shop.Or an asian supermarket.I started making the bread video last night with the poolish.ok,bye4now cheers

    Nice one Jeff, glad to see you busy making the good stuff. Just wondering why you discarded the Galangal. Is it fibrous? Do you just use it for flavoring? Also, what is the flavor similar to? I’ve never seen it in the markets here in the States,… just wondering. Are you gonna record your next bread en-devour?
