Last Spring a put several containers in the freezer. I cooked it using Jamie Oliver's recipe, he used some ginger in it, I now love it that way. <br />We had 9 inches of snow yesterday (Saturday) so fed up with it, it has been on the ground since the first of December, and we have the rest of February to get through yet.

(We have a lot in common from childhood). I got a crown of rhubarb for my garden last year and I'm hoping the cold winter hasn't seen it off as I'm looking forward to cooking with it.<br />I got some seville's from Tesco this week as they were on offer 1Kg for £1.50 (half price) - I've frozen them 'till I'm ready to make marmalade. I made some lemon curd today and like the sound of your seville orange curd - any chance you could post the recipe please Tricia? <br /><br />Best wishes as always<br />Rose H xxRose H (UK)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03502158211136467582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703817848238285099.post-32500134019997505382011-02-06T21:09:30.818+00:002011-02-06T21:09:30.818+00:00Hi Rowan, do you know why they gave us this.

I still have horrific memories of having to have Syrup of Figs every so often too and the Virol (Cod Liver Oil and Malt - Yuk). So there was always a method in the adults madness.<br /><br />Hope you okay<br /><br />Pattypan<br /><br />xxPattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703817848238285099.post-2413939620290984762011-02-06T20:55:31.824+00:002011-02-06T20:55:31.824+00:00I love rhubarb, it arrived in my life very early t...I love rhubarb, it arrived in my life very early too, one of my aunts had a patch in her garden and my cousins and I had a stick each and a saucer of sugar to dip it in - same sort of memory as you have:)Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.com
