Fields of Home
“Miley Lynch, from the small public bar near the school, had let them help themselves to a pile of empty jars and bottles in his yard, and they had washed them out then boiled them in water till they were spotlessly clean. Every pot and pan in the place was in use as they boiled fruit and sugar. The smell of sweet syrup and apples filled the cottage. Naturally, young Jodie was full of curiosity, and screamed when he was pulled away from hot things for fear he’d burn himself.‘Mary-Brigid, the bes...t thing you can do to help us is to take your little brother out of the way,’ suggested Eily, so the children were forced to watch the goings-on from the doorway. Nano spread a dusting of flour on the table and rolled out pale, oaten-coloured dough to make the pies. Then she quickly pared and sliced the apples and popped them in on top of the pastry.They filled each glass jar with sweet jam and crab-apple and bramble jelly, and bottled the preserves and richly coloured chutneys.Nano cut circles out of left-over scraps of cloth from the work-basket to tie on the lids, and Eily sat up till late in the night inscribing labels of white paper, which they glued on, saying: HOMEMADE BLACKBERRY JAM.MoreLess
