Goodness, thank you for your kind words @Former-Member. I do these things because they help to keep me out of that pit of despair that I'm all too often skirting around lately. It is hard to do when one's focus has to be elesewhere, so good on you for being able to make the effort!
I have taken to peeling the zest from lemons I squeeze for juice and freezing it between slips of baking paper. It's really useful in one of the quick pickle recipes I sometimes make, and also for other baking and flavouring too.
HOme made lemon cordial is great! I also use the frozen lemon juice to make Lemon Butter when I have the inclination.
I like your idea of freezing things for later, I sometimes make up a double or even triple serve of a soup and eat one/ freeze some, so I can have soup without the effort later on. The big freezer is a great help!
When I put the ginger into the pantry last night I found the last bottle of Elderflower Jelly I made from the collected flowers from the Elderflower Tree at my last place. I had forgotten I still had one jar left so that was a lovely find. It looks like I'll have to make pikelets or scones soon, to make the most of it.
@Smc @Former-Member would it be possible to share that stock recipe? @greenpea So lovely to see your new outfits!
