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...
ReplyDeleteKeep a close eye - jars do breed!
ReplyDeleteSue is right, they do multiply as they lurk in the darkness at the back if the shelf!
ReplyDeleteI sorted out my cupboards yesterday and there were far more "useful" jats than I shall ever need. SOME of them have gone to recycling.
I am a real sucker for a pretty or unusual shaped jar as the shelves in my garage can testify. I don't make much jam or marmalade these days so not sure what I am keeping them for, I just can't put them in the recycling bin. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty jars, I think they have gone a bit smaller recently. DH likes the lime and it was on offer recently. I reuse them for homemade marmalade for our SIL.
ReplyDeleteThe jar is worth keeping for the pretty lid alone! I'm sure she will come in very handy for something ;)
