Fark off. I saw it and made amends.

My dear Mama has about 15 apple trees in the garden. If it can be cooked with apples, I have done it a thousand times.

I shall shortly be starting my own thread asking WTF I can do with 75kg oranges, about 250 pomegranates, 20kg lemons and a million (ish) figs,

I had a nice recipe for apple chutney, you could make some and give it as Xmas gifts as it takes a while to mature before being ready to eat!

Rockstock, wish I had your problem!

Apple Strudel....
Baked apples
Grate apple into muesli or porridge

Pamplemousse. Trust me you don't. I still have 6 large kilner jars of marmalade. I gave away 8 as it is!

'exotic' fruit salad then rockstock

For all of Mumsnet do you think!!! Seriously, I have so many Seville Oranges that I end up throwing some away as I'm sick to death of them. I take a sharp intake of breathe when I see the price of them in supermarkets back in England.

Apple jelly-
cut up apples into chunks (discard any bad bits but ok to keep stalks/flower ends/seeds, etc)
Cover with water and simmer for about half an hour.
When fruit is soft, strain through muslin (or a clean teatowel ). (NB don't squeeze the cloth or your jelly will go cloudy).
For every pint and a half of liquid, add 3/4 lb sugar, then bring to the boil and simmer until it sets on a cold plate.

This jelly comes out (magically!) as a lovely ruby red colour, and is delicious as a jam, on toast, or in ham sarnis or with roast meats.

We have a huge stash of it already, and I'm making more all the time-no more supermarket jam for us!

Come, come! We're moving back to England in 5 weeks, so choppity chop. We're in Marbella

Ohhhh, Mar-Bella...posh, innit?

Oh yeah, it's well posh. We all got plastic bits dontcha know. And permatans.

Or something.

Ah come on now rocks admit it, you're on one of them super yachts aren't you!

I've got friends near Marbella, it's a lovely place.

Why on earth would you want to move back to the uk from sunny spain?

Mumatron I bloody wish!

It is a lovely place, but I've done my time here now (7½ years) and lots of things have changed/happened in the past year that I just don't want to be here anymore. I am soooooo looking forward to coming back to London. I miss it. I love it. And frankly, I don't give a stuff about the weather!

Where are your friends? I'd laugh if they were near me, or even if I knew them! It's terribly small and insular here.
