How to make Pomander gin:
This drink gets its name from the fact that it uses both orange and cloves (which people used to make Pomander from). The flavor is intense and unusual.



Ingredients

1 large orange
12 cloves
1 bottle gin
half a cup of sugar
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of water
(see measure conversions for more information)

Method

- Stick the cloves all over the orange.
- Put the orange into a wide necked glass bottle or jar which can be tightly closed.
- Add the half cup of sugar and pour in the gin.
- Screw on the lid.
- Put in a warm room for four days and agitate the container gently every day to dissolve the sugar.
- Leave in a dark cool room or cupboard for about twelve weeks.
- Strain and throw away the orange and the cloves.
- Make a solution with the 1 cup of sugar and the cup of water and add this to the gin.
- Pour into a clean bottle and screw on lid.

Problems with black currant jelly


Hello everybody,
I made some black currant jelly recently using two pans. One pan produced excellent results, 8lb of nice firm jelly. The other pan's contents, of around 7lb, have not set. Both pans were treated identically. I have looked through my collection of cookery books and found no help, does anyone know of any way of rescuing this jelly as it goes against the grain to ditch it?
