Decant into jars. Cool in a water bath and refrigerate.
I got four of these 250 ml jars from one batch. That'll do.
Give away to your neighbors!

First sold in 1807 in Oxford Street. London, the soap was targeted at the gentry. Later. his business partner Barret launched the eponymous Cyclopædia to help advertise the brand.
To be clear, this is a valve cover in the pavement. But when I saw the characters, 'ATM', I experienced a familiar shiver. I hate using those 'hole in the wall' bank machines.
The world's first Automated Teller Machine appeared in Enfiled, North London, in 1967 at a Barclays Bank branch. What has that to do with Lancaster? Banking and Quakers (where they still have a Meeting House).
Quakers back in the 18th century could not be in the 'professions' so many became bankers or merchants. Barclays Bank was founded by Freame and Gould (Quakers) and were later joined by Barclay (another Quaker).

"What hath God wrought" Numbers 23:23
This was the first message sent by Samuel Morse on his new telegraph in 1844.
This wrought iron balcony inspires awe, I think.
I'm letting these cool for 30 minutes to let them firm up a bit. It works for my bread so it might work here.
Seen in town.
I used to drive one of these, but finished in green. I loved the differential locks operated inside the cab instead of wading in mud outside. If you ever see one with 42 on the plate, that's the beast 😁
What to do with 20g of this flour,80g of that, and so on?
Throw them all together and make bread.
Although there was some 20% wholemeal in here I treated it all like white bread. Voilà you see the result. I'm especially pleased with the crunchy crust.
Seagulls greedily peck into garbage bags when left outside for collection. These over bags prevent that and the ensuing mess.
Brits have no idea what a fadge is and I have no idea what these bags are called here. There's a nice German compound word, of course. I have a wheelie bin, fortunately.
Bargain of the week from a thrift store.
Not the famous Venetian kind of waterbus, but a steam generator - sometimes called a steam cleaner.
My kitchen floor is squeaky clean - I can hardly wait to set about my curtains and furnishings!
I'm thinking about hanging some veggies from the washing line and steaming them, too!
Not sure why but I was craving this all morning. Tenderstem broccoli tossed in oil and simmered in a spiced tomato sauce for 10 minutes. Some olives because I like them and finished with lemon juice and yogurt.
Another serving left and headed for the fridge 😄
Rene's has been selling quality ladies' clothing and accessories for over 70 years, now in the third generation of family owners.
They always have an interesting window.
William Lindow, a merchant, is buried here. He owned many businesses including plantations. And therefore slaves. Unconscionable today, i ask myself how it was thought to be OK by these church going people.

And behold, some coffee spoons! Someone's wedding gift from decades past? Who can tell. I don't think they've been used ever. For a paltry pound I couldn't pass them by.
I love the mauve coffee beans. An odd choice of shade, but why not!
This building had previously been a coaching inn, police station and fire station before it was remodelled and opened as the town's public library in 1932 along with the Junior Library in New Street.
I like the skylights with pretty stained-glass around the edges. Would that detail be allowed in a public building these days? I rather doubt it.
I came today to get a book by Christopher Priest ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Priest_(novelist) ). the one I wanted had been withdrawn because it was "old", although I noticed plenty of Shakespeare and other "old" writers' works on the shelves. These are quite low shelves, so I don't think that space can be argued as a constraint.
On the other hand, public libraries in England have been closed at an alarming rate in the last few years: 20% since 2010; so I guess I should be grateful that this one is here at all.
Local elections soon. Green is seen as the lesser of the various weevils here.
From yards on this street seem to feature a great variety of maples.
Lancashire Police horses visit Lancaster as part of the summer action plan against anti social activity.
Roses in full bloom around our neighborhood. They smell amazing. Straight out the camera from the 13ultra.
My singing bowl is tuned to F# *, which makes it perfect for anahata meditation (the heart chakra) where love, empathy, compassion, and joy are centered.
*F# resonates with the thymus gland chakra, located just above the heart center.
This afternoon's collection. There's no doubt this place is damp! Stone walls absorb nothing at all!
Here's a slice of pie, with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
I pre-cooked the apples, orange peel, and spices in the pressure cooker for 15 minutes - I'm happy with the mushy finish. It was easy to spoon into the pie case and push around in order not to leave any gaps.
I added a single layer of sultanas to the top of the apples before putting on the lid - the plan was to avoid the lid becoming soggy from sitting on top of the apples. It seemed to work. A few cuts in the lid with a paring knife allowed the steam to escape.
Having de stalked and simmered for 30 minutes to neutralize the natural cyanide in the berries, i added lemon and sugar to make this luscious syrup. It has health benefits but probably not when mixed with vodka!
"Rediffusion" refers to a prominent British company that distributed radio and TV signals via wired networks, known for its pioneering television advertising and school broadcasting. The company also founded the first ITV franchisee, Associated-Rediffusion, and later expanded into various electronic and manufacturing industries before being broken up and sold in the 1980s.
[AI overview]
I have no idea what is under this manhole cover today; perhaps it's where all the re-runs come from.
3 shots of water to 2 doses of coffee. Slightly milder than my usual breakfast brew. Accidentally made a nice change.
Enjoy your day 👍

On the way to fisherman's square stands this interesting house. I don't know its history but will find out.
Out of use since 1973, you can see where the line ends just beyond the bridge. Now the space is used for the overhead cable pylons. It's a strangely interesting space.
Railway companies own lots of land but it's often hard to use.
George Smith is an English floral designer who carries on from where Constance Spry left off.
There's so much to do today and I don't know where to start. So, for now, I will look at my kitchen flowers and drink coffee.
Why was I not made aware of this simple but delicious meal before?
Smash aan avo and add a bit of cayenne pepper and lemon juice.
Cook the bacon and slice it up.
Make toast.
Pile it up. Easy.
Add a smear of Vegemite to the toast of you have it. Umami niceness.
The tomatoes are the last of the ones I preserved the other day. It's now my go-to method.
