Looks like you made a fine job of that chutney and jelly making - never had a quince before, so need to try that soon. Thanks so much for your brill advice on how to make a basket liner. I'm going to start that soon once I've finished my Autumnal bunting and wreath.

I picked what I thought were some pears last week and they never got soft in the bowl and now I have seen what they are DUH! they are quince. I have suffice to say never eaten them. I will plunder some more from the same tree next year and give the jelly a go. We made crab apple jelly and it was clear too Hooray!
