Cucumber jam


This week's glut is.....cucumbers! 
The weather's turned cooler, no one wants to eat salad and I can hardly freeze them, so it's back to my weird jam making.

Having tried this recipe before I don't think cucumber jam (or marmalade) is so very odd.
The cucumber just gives bulk and picks up the flavour of whatever is added, in this case lemons.


It looks quite marmalade-like but I don't think I was generous enough with the lemons this time as the flavour isn't very strong - in future I'll add more.
Still, it's ok and has saved the surplus from being wasted.
