The ingredients sound good. I've not thought of the red wine part before. The only thing we made this year was Lady Magnon's Fig, Apple, and Raisin Chutters, which was very good..... Again no proper recipe!!<br /><br />Thanks for remembering me.

My mother finally gave up the fig jam recipe...actually, she really doesn't have one, she just wings it, so getting something in black & white, and in measurements wasn't very easy. But, if you still have figs...(they might be all gone now), I hope you will give it a try, it's delicious.<br /><br />This is exactly how she sent it to me:<br /><br />1. Wash figs and cut in half<br />2. Put in pot with red wine, sugar and lemon<br /> juice (here's the winging it part, all <br /> depends on how many figs you use)<br />3. Taste until you like it<br />4. Cook on very low flame until thick, apprx. <br /> 5 hours<br />5. If you like, put in blender.<br /><br />Sorry it isn't more precise...I am still determined to try and get more detail out of her, but for now, this is it.<br /><br />Again, my sympathies,<br />Jessica24 Cornershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630767883910250689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-79098458173560149912010-10-27T14:13:17.076+01:002010-10-27T14:13:17.076+01:00I'm sad to hear of the death of your friend.

Similarly, I like to think that when my time on this earth is done my body is going to say the same to my soul.<br />Until then, I'll take care of the basics (as you so properly list) and stay away from doctors.<br />I hope your friend is at peace.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00728645243327906117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-63034060429409189792010-10-27T12:04:19.605+01:002010-10-27T12:04:19.605+01:00I wonder why, with all our technology and advancem...I wonder why, with all our technology and advancement in medicine, we can't figure out a way to make a person's final days less tragic? Pain, though, is often our last trail on earth, our last chance to gain a higher understanding of self before moving on, so it's invaluable really. And your care and concern was part of that higher understanding.Amy Saiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346366018143891761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-85335692696206813872010-10-27T07:44:55.696+01:002010-10-27T07:44:55.696+01:00Woke this morning to the first proper frost of win...Woke this morning to the first proper frost of winter.
