I used the BBC recipe, and it was super easy to make and (even though I say so myself) super delicious – about as far as you get from the synthetic looking florescent yellow stuff that my father used to buy from the supermarket when I was a child.

So for my lunch I had some home made cauliflower soup and then bread straight out of the breadmaker with lashings of the new curd. Unfortunately R has a rule that bread is a savoury thing and mustn’t be combined with anything sweet – so that is all my home made preserves he won’t eat. I thought to give him some homemade jam on a scone but apparently he isn’t a fan of scones either. If it weren’t for chocolate cake I think I would need to give up on him.
