a great week we had visitors over the w/e...
with Border Girl staying a few nights but working
during the day... Plus we also had my Bridesmaid
& her man visiting too...
As you can imagine lots of talking, laughing &
pleasant memories revived & of course lots of
eating as well...
Look what we did a few weeks ago...
When the family came at Christmas they brought
lots of beautiful mangos, green, so once we had
recovered from their visits we got in & made
mango chutney...
yummm... but we had soo many mangos it was
one hellva big job... thank goodness My Man
helped me or I'd still be peeling & cutting up....
Peeling & cutting up green mangos puts a weird
feeling film over your hands... takes a fair bit of
scrubbing to get it all off...
bit like cutting up chockos...

took us several hours...
took us several hours...
I still had to add the other ingredients...
ummmm... so it took a long time to cook & we
ummmm... so it took a long time to cook & we
were too tired to take photos but this was the
end result...
this should last us, which includes family & friends,
a couple of years...
We ended up with 19litres of chutney which went
into 55 different assorted collected bottles -
that My Man prepares for me - plus 3/4 of a 1 litre
yoghurt tub that we are eating now...
Job well done...
we were very pleased with our effort & should
you call around we could give you a bottle to try...
Now it's back to crocheting...

Oh Bethel
You have been busy there! Very organised I must say. Oh yea, I'll catch the next plane and come and try a jar of your chutney. Shall I book the ticket? :) (I am joking....you wouldn't get me on a plane, no way!!!!)
Have a good weekend,
Hugs and Love Suex
P.S. Don't eat it all at once!!
Yummmmmm.....I can almost taste it.
