I used the last of the Lemon and Lime marmalade yesterday for my 'second breakfast'. I had forgotten that it was even there, lurking as it was behind the large jar of silverskin pickled onions in the fridge. I wondered when I had bought this as I really couldn't remember it appearing on any recent blog post, and I have been pretty on the ball with sharing my shopping for a long time now.
So I have just used the Search box and scrolled back, seemingly I opened the jar in August last year, (on this post) but there is no record of when it was bought.
Before I washed the jar out properly I added a bit of water from the kettle to it and gave it a swill, the liquid was then added to the curry that I made last night. I don't know what difference it actually made to the flavour, but it made me happy that absolutely nothing had gone to waste.
Then I washed the jar properly and the label soaked off like a dream.
With this fact, and with it being such a lovely jar it seemed a shame to put her into the recycling bin. I tried to be hard hearted and tell myself that I had more than enough empty jars of assorted sizes.
You've guessed it ... she now lives in the cupboard with her friends, awaiting some random contents of some sort, one day. 😁

Roses jars are lovely aren’t they- we don’t buy them ourselves but do occasionally get one given to us when someone else has finished the contents!
ReplyDeleteOne can't have too many useful jars! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a pretty jar though...
