If only Paddington Bear lived with us


A couple of years ago I found some books in an op-shop called A Glut of Apricots and Peaches and A Glut of...(something else I can't remember). They were by Ann Carr. Well, I wish there had been A Glut of Citrus Fruit too because that is exactly what we have here in the Yellow Wood at the moment! Our lemon and grapefruit trees are going quite mad (who knew winter was their season??) and we have said fruit everywhere. My dear sweet husband made about a dozen jars of lovely three-fruit marmalade on Monday night but we still have citrusy goodness all over the kitchen and plopping ripely to the ground outside. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Do you eat marmelqde only at breakfirst ? I found out its also delicious to eat it with toast at 4:00 Clock tea / coffee

Yum...good idea, Diana. Afternoon tea - one of my favourite meals :)

I wish you could send some of those fruits over here. :)
It is too cold here where I live to have the trees planted outside, and I have no place in the house to put the pots during the winter months. Lucky you!
What about a lemon pie? Citrus sorbet?

@ Pina -

Mmmm. Lemon pie sounds good. Thanks :)
