After stuffing myself with too many chocolates yesterday I find the idea of pickled fish actually refreshing.<br />I haven't attempted any preserves beyond jam-making, so "well-done" with the fish, even if they did make an unexpected metamorphosis.Frances Tyrrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18300498036210195590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-30657609459461366052009-12-25T15:50:10.629+00:002009-12-25T15:50:10.629+00:00Quite an adventure.
