Hi mummy,
yesterday hostmum asked us whether we could help her cookin jam. Of course we wanted!
First we picked lots of redcurrants, then we had to wash them and to clean them up from stalks (a very long-winded activity 
) because hostmum wanted to bake a cake with currants before making jam.
Twixx and me rolled out the dough, then we covered it with redcurrants. At last meringue to the top...yummy!
Then we started making jam. We DIDN'T have to pick the currants up from stalks because hostmum has got a brilliant old mincer from her grandma: you can fill in the redcurrants WITH their stalks, then you only have to turn the crank...on one side the stalks and pips appear and on the other side the pulp. So we did, wow!
After that we cooked the pulp together with bananas, gelling agent, sugar and some liqueur and filled the jam into glasses...ready!
All the best
yours Laika
