Pete’s voice raised 6 octaves as he squealed,
‘AND we just bought a sieve!!!! what PERFECT timing!!!’ and my response was
‘AND that’s not even the BEST thing, we have 8 large matching jars!!!!’
I catch us looking at each other grinning broadly, eyebrows raised like, what do you think of them apples! There is not a hint of sarcasm here just incredulous looks of honest glee.
We are making plum sauce. Because that is what we do. And that is what makes us happy. Our plum tree has already dropped red round marbles in her thousands and Pete’s, through the Harrow household door motto is ‘Waste NOThing, USe everything!’ and so we are turning 70 of the little gems into 6 big jars of spicy plum sauce.
Some things in life must be acknowledged as being as good as they truly are.
1. buying a sieve because you think it might be handy one day and then the VERY next week using said sieve in a recipe that could not do without.
2. having 8 matching jars. with lids.
3. having a whole two cupboards just dedicated to empty jars and lids waiting for awesome filling.
4. being ok that at 29 and 31 making plum sauce rocks your world.
5. knowing to draw the line at taking a photo of jarred plum sauce to put on the blog no matter how proud those plum jars make you feel.

don't want to gross you out further but if you use water in your birth that sieve will also be handy for scooping 'deposits' out of the water.
