OMG so delicious!  Just love this recipe, thank you so much for posting it.  Apart from forgetting to prick the sausages and adding a bit of gravox to thicken the gravy this was so simple I felt silly raving on about how yummy it was.  The best bangers and mash I have ever had.  And the veggies were cooked perfectly, the timing was spot on. Yay for another easy dinner option!

Thanks judydawn.  I gave my mum some of my "citrus spread" as I am now calling it and still have another jar in the fridge.  Next time I will look into sterilising the jars so I can keep them in the pantry.  I really like the idea that all the fruit is used as all the fibre must help make up for the sugar surely? Lol.

I made these for lunch to accompany soup.  I played with the ingredients a bit, had one cup Colby cheese and a small wedge of blue, didn't have sun dried tomatoes so used some split green chili olives as well as the black, also threw in a bit of parsley too.  Super yummy.  Didn't have muffin top tins so scratched around and found two 12 hole patty pans, did the trick and I was feeling clever too!  Thanks for a great recipe.

I made this jam after having a quick look for a cordial recipe that lead me here.  I was skeptical after reading some of the comments but had nothing to lose.  Well it turned out just great.  It has a good gelling consistency and the flavour is really yummy, like a marmalade. 
I made lemon cordial but for this jam I used the pulp from a cordial made up of one ruby red grapefruit, two oranges, four mandarins and one lemon.  I peeled the skin off the grapefruit which I used but I cut away the pith as I thought it would be too much.
I wouldn't make this jam with just the lemon pulp as I can imagine that would be too bitter but the mixed citrus is a winner.  I am really chuffed as previous jam attempts have been a bit runny.  And this is a great bonus recipe - using stuff that would normally go in the bin!  I actually froze some excess pulp as I didn't have enough sugar so will try using that one day.
Thanks for a great recipe or should I say two recipes!
