While I can still remember what I did. Made up recipes are better written down! Then if one likes the result it can be repeated. Or altered as one sees fit from a known starting point.

Raspberry sauce
350g purple raspberries (picked by moi last summer, have been living in freezer since)
Juice of one meyer lemon
Slow heat to simmer, mash, take off heat
Add 175g sugar, stir until dissolved
Back on heat- bring to low boil for 5min
Bottle
this was brilliant. Lovely strong flavour. Works with red raspberries too. Over icecream, as part of an Eton mess type thing, pancakes....

Juice of one meyer lemon
1/2t ground ginger, 1/4t each ground cardamom, nutmeg

You might see the bits of raspberry that were left in the funnel and made it into the first strawpear bottle
