Well, I reheated the jelly and jars and re-potted, and they still haven't sealed. I think these particular lids must be damaged, as now they won't even fasten properly. So...any suggestions for using up a couple of jars of sloe and apple jelly? I'm thinking a rich lamb casserole, or perhaps something tagine-y with North African flavours. Fortunately I didn't have too many sloes left after preparing sloe gin, so at least I haven't got jars and jars of it!
Hi Juwesm
Bad luck. Even with dodgy lids they'll keep well in the fridge for a few weeks.
I love the idea of a lamb tagine but don't have any tagine recipes. We bake pork or lamb chops in the oven in bramble jelly with star anise. Will post the recipe on the blog this week.
A rich game casserole/pie would be good too.
Mmmm, pork with brambles and anise sounds lovely. It must be a little like having a Chinese plum sauce with the chops. I'll look out for the recipe. As it's prime game season, I might just give a big game pie a go. Do pies freeze well (I'm thinking to keep for Christmas)? Or perhaps make up the filling and freeze that?
