8 liters should be enough to see me through the winter storms, served hot with a twist of lemon, honey and fresh ginger! Thanks to this wonderful contraption that my mother gifted me a few years ago. Instead of boiling and straining, you steam the berries. Just add water in the bottom container, 3 kg of berries + 1 kg of sugar in the top, and the juice collects in the middle.
Next week I’ll be back on my usual subject matters, I promise. Spinning wheel is going to get dusted for instance.
Lidt hyldebærkoncentrat takket være den dejlige “saft-Maja” jeg har fået af min mor. Så kan jeg klare vinteren med varme drikke tilsat citron, honning og frisk ingefær, nams!
Næste uge lover jeg at holde mig mere til de sædvanlige emner. 😉 Lidt spinderi bliver det nok til!

Washed and dried and staying pretty much the same colour! So far so good… All that remains is a light test.
The jar of fleece turned blue, then green after some days, but the fleece then virtually lost all colour when drained. Slight greenish grey left. Whether it’s due to temp, no mordant or just the Dorset that doesn’t take well remains a mystery as usual. But I’m thinking I could have gotten green if I’d used yarn.
Det ser ud som om garnet holder farven, også efter vask! Så mangler blot en lystest….
