Recipe Review-Fig Jam EDC

Fig Jam

EDC

Tweaking
I used CSR jam sugar for this and only the juice of one lemon. I cooked it for 45 minutes at 100⁰ and then 10 minutes at Varoma.
Next time I make this I won't puree the figs. I'll simply cut them into halves or quarters and cook it on  so that there may be pieces of fig left in the jam.

We like it very much although it's not quite what Mum made when I was a kid.

Can you remember back that far Cookie1

Dare I say probably better than I can remember what I did yesterday.

Keeping a diary helps

We have a calendar on the fridge and everything is put up on that. DH has learnt not to make any arrangements until he checks that. I also use a whiteboard and scrawl all over that. I've always been a list maker and organised, I guess that comes from teaching as I always believed that if you weren't well prepared when the class came in you had a lousy day.
When I had a bout of depression a while back I lost/couldn't use or something my organisational skills and that was what made me seek help. Oh and not wanting to cook!!! Imagine that.

Not wanting to cook, no I cannot imagine you not being in the kitchen Cookie1.  So glad you sought help though and your problem is under control.   
We too have a whiteboard with the week's activities, appointments and needle nights for DH (every second night).  Even though it is there in black and white I still manage to forget it on the odd occasion.  He takes responsibility too for the mistake as he says it shouldn't be left up to me to remember everything. He was looking at one of isi's recipe print-outs today whilst i was making it and he questioned the date being 2010    At least I know that is correct - we make a right good pair don't we
