Sorry for yesterday's blog silence - I was travelling, and I was all out of internet when I tried to post something to the blog. (In theory, there was wifi on the train - but the connection was very sketchy and not enough to load a single site.)

Apart from the very helpful pro tip in the title, here's something nice and fruity among all the current doom and gloom: Tasting history has taken a look into Nostradamus's book and came up with... a cherry jelly recipe.

So if you'd like something to brighten up your toast... here you go. In case you prefer reading to watching, you can also take a look at the backstory, and the recipe, on the Tasting History website.

It does sound really nice! Now our little cherry tree only has to deliver next year...
