I **** love the stuff.
So much so, that I really have to limit my access to it. I generally try to keep a reasonably tight rein on my sugar intake and don’t find it too difficult to stay off the cakes, sweets and biscuits. However, sweet preserves are another matter entirely. If they’re in the house at all, I tend to consume them with all the restraint of a Pattaya sex tourist.
A good sharp raspberry is a favourite, especially paired with decent peanut butter on toast. And as for marmalade, Christ, Paddington **** Bear doesn’t love marmalade as much as I do.
Lemon or lime curd too. The latter, spread on a slice of ginger cake is sufficient reason to go on living in any circumstances.
So, the upshot is, I don’t have them in the house, except when I’m granting myself a holiday from abstinence. I’m off for a week and a half at Christmas, during which my house will be a den of sheer jammy debauchery.
