Comments on: Spiced Grape Jam http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/02/11/spiced-grape-jam-by-sean-moran-from-let-it-simmer/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I really like your blog too. I like that its not just food but other things as well. I have the tendency to get tunnel vision and forget there are so many other interesting things! Unfortunately I am a size 6/36 in shoes so it might be a tad uncomfortable to swap shoes :lol: I honestly wish there was a good way for me to send my food to people. Its just my husband and I and we just can't eat all of it and I just love making sweets and desserts which isn't great for my healthy husband :lol: Thanks again for your absolutely lovely comment. You can't believe how happy that made me! Cheers, Lorraine :) Hi Maria-Wow, your comment has really made my day!

I just wanted to say thank you for visiting my blog but especially leaving comments. It means a lot, especially from someone like you with 'THE' foodie blog of the century. I just love what you do on this website - and what makes it more attractive is your generous spirit in what you share.. and yes.. dropping in on people who visit you too.. like me! You and your hubby are a couple after my own heart (with all the eating out trips you do.. visiting markets.. just allround wonderful food experiences)... Dare I say your 120 pairs of shoes have me fascinated too. You wouldn't happen to be a size 9 would you? I was going to say if you ever wanted to offload any of the pairs you have.. and we were the same size.. I'd seriously consider helping you out! ;-) Oh..and I know it's not uncommon for your readers to want you to send them the delicious things you make.. so count me on on that list too! ;-) Anyway.. I hope none of this comes across as me blowing smoke up your you know what.. I'm sincere - I mean it, I think "Not Quite Nigella" is a blissful blog.. it feels blissful to visit :-D Have a great rest-of-the-week, Cheers, Maria :-) Hi Lorraine,

It would be great with that I think, its a little unusual but when cooked, it resembles a gooseberry jam or a berry jam. Delicious! :) Hi Sally-Thankyou and welcome! :D And thanks for referring your friends too, the more the merrier of food loving folk most definitely!

I feel like I have discovered a treasure trove of goodness! i've also directed a few of my friends to your site! The grape jam recipe sounds really interesting - i'd imagine it would be delicious swirled through good vanilla icecream and doesn't look too difficult to make. thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

I'm not sure if I will be making many more, although I suppose summer is the best time with all of the gorgeous fruit. Its just that I have so many jars of jam in my fridge already (I think about 10 at last count not to mention what's in my cupboard!). I'm almost too scared to make more in case they take over my fridge :lol: Hi Popeye-Good question! I have no idea why. The reason why I made this was because I had never heard of it :P Perhaps as it doesn't set very hard as the grapes are low in pectin.
