Guava Jelly

Celebrated the first day of Autumn by making some guava jelly taking care this time to add a bit of lemon juice and boiling it fast to ensure a firm set.  It has a deep ruby colour as usual and the usual tart flavour .  In the background are my scales, the ones I use each and every day for weighing something or rather.  I have them on the old tea wagon near the stove where it's very convenient.  People with Parkinson's often lose their sense of taste and smell, both of which contribute largely to our enjoyment of food.  I try  to compensate by using colour in food and adding the stronger herbs like basil, rosemary and thyme to add flavour.
