There's still plenty of the things on the plants and I've got more in the freezer that I picked last week. The easy alternative to fucking about with water without the aid of a hydro meter is to take as much strawberry juice as you can get then top it up with supermarket apple juice. As long aa it's real apple juice, from concentrate even, its packed with fermentable sugar. If you Google turbo cider (its named based on speed of fermentation, not cos its stinking bam juice) you will find loads of advice. On the whole though its very easy to make and carb up in bottles giving you a cheap and delicious summer beverage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 The side of salmon I got for 20 notes which I intended to smoke myself has showed up. Except it's already been smoked. A whole side of smoked salmon for 20 quid seems like a very good price even if it's not what I actually wanted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to do with them all as I've still got jam from last year. Do as I did and turn them into the culinary equivalent of Philpy’s trainers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearthammer Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Just picked up my latest batch of aquatic goodies. 2 Monkfish tails, 2 good sized lobsters and a brill Brill. Lobsters currently "sleeping" in my freezer along with the Monkfish. Will make a jigsaw of the Brill later today and enjoy a home-made fish supper tomorrow. Happy omega 3 days. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to follow the humane (?) practices to minimise the distress to ma denner. If anyone can suggest a better way, other than boiling them alive, then i'm open to try alternatives.
