Pineapple jam with grapefruit and lime - WHB #269

I'm not feeling well yet, this flu is worse than I thought, so no trekking today either.
:(

but the weather was so warm and it actually was cosy sitting outside and read
read, that means study some new tour to trek!
I found two.
they are perfect for Nordic walking, so I think I will ask my Nordic group to join me
in these ones. :-D
this is the beautiful book of Monte Baldo, Giorgio and Michele has written
and also given me (Giorgio is a dear friend)
escursioni sul baldo

I also made some order among the primroses Gokki (daughter n°3) and Giovanni
(almost-son n°5) has given us on our wedding anniversary.
I must admit I don't like primroses very much, I think they are a little to colorfull, to vivid
it could be nice all white or all light yellow, like the wild ones.
but no, Gokki and Giò brought me 15 primroses in almost 15 different colors. 
help! :-DDD

anyway if you divid them there not that bad after all.

the red ones put together
red primeroses

one pink one together with the Iberis sempervirens
primerose &iberis sempervirens

one purple in the herb pot, only fennel but the chives will soon come
primerose & fennel

another pink one together with the parsley
primerose &parsley

the yellow one in the almost empty pot where the aster and ceratostigma was
primerose &aster

and one in the yucca pot
primerose & agave

the english ivy decoration was dry and old so I made a new one
with cherry laurel, myrtle, lavendel, rosemary, gray santolina, common box, and one last flower of the catalpa tree.

  1. I never would have pegged pineapple jam to be bitter, but I imagine it is still wonderful. Thanks for sharing it with WHB this week. :)

  2. ciao janet, I know, it should be sweet, but the grapefruit adds that little bitterness I love.
