Between blotch and blok

Oops! We try to flag the culinary jamming as just that so as not to bore the musicos! The kiwis that preceded the marrows didn't give the game away first?

Progress

Three large jars of kiwi daiquiri jam done.

2lbs marrow diced very small and covered in sugar for the experimental Marrow and Ginger Wine Jam we're planning for tomorrow.

Monday, when M and Looby Loo have returned furnished with quantities of cooking apples, we can start on the store of frozen blackberries (there's no space in our tiny freezer for very much else at the minute). Question is: what alcohol to add to blackberry and apple jam? Creme de Mures would be too sweet; calvados, I guess, too harsh. There must be some blackberry-based eau de vie that would work.

Then the only conundrum is whether to make the elderberries into wine or try some apple and elderberry jam or jelly.
