I am so glad Blogger introduced this functionality. <br /> I know what you mean by blogs that are no longer updating- I miss some of my favorites and always hope they are doing well in real life.<br /> My biggest challenge with organizing my blog is getting the recipe index arranged in a more user friendly way.Nupurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03890441057480820053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-34727833735774298522010-02-24T21:24:27.406+11:002010-02-24T21:24:27.406+11:00Thanks Hannah - messing with html terrifies me too...Thanks Hannah - messing with html terrifies me too - but I am getting bolder - although still have problems at time where I don't have a clue what is happening - and as for jams - there are so many I want to buy but I resist mostly because I know I forget them<br /><br />Thanks Kitchen Butterfly - so glad to find I share your love of plum jam<br /><br />Thanks Jaime - after scientific research I can confirm that this jam is lovely on toast or pancakes :-)<br /><br />Thanks Susan - the folding funnel is great for when you want to squish it in a drawer because you have no room in the kitchen<br /><br />Thanks Anh - I think plums are one of the last stone fruits to disappear so you may have a chance to love some plums yet<br /><br />Thanks Clare - my mum told me the same thing about pineapple when I told her about the jam making disaster - I am no jam expert but the hit and miss experiments are helping me learn<br /><br />Thanks Jenn - I don't cook with plums often enough but have made amends for this a little this summer - it has convinced me I must cook with them even moreJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-40250075784022170422010-02-24T09:46:36.817+11:002010-02-24T09:46:36.817+11:00That sounds really delicious!

I know you can't put pineapple or kiwi in jelly or it doesn't set? Have I made that up? Possibly why your first jam was too runny......<br /><br />Love your blog though!Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023993685282454967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-22081723353893226912010-02-23T09:20:44.462+11:002010-02-23T09:20:44.462+11:00plum jam! wow!

I often seem to buy interesting jams, open them, and then forget about them, though... But then they make good additions to bread and butter puddings when the excess-purchased-food-guilt strikes!<br /><br />I do like the easily-accessible links up the top. Messing around with blog settings terrifies me, though!Hannahhttp://wayfaringchocolate.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
