• Hot crab apple and chili jelly recipe

• Hot crabapple chili cheese

Notes: Omg, I found the recipe!!! Here's the recipe for Crabapple Chili 'cheese'—like a chutney but fewer bits—and the recipe for Crabapple Chili jelly—which Thing 2 said tastes like better than real honey…which means I think I needed to cook it longer/higher, but 🤷🏻‍♀️

Either way, make the jelly first then save the pulp after straining to make the cheese.

I didn't have access to crabapples so instead I went to our local cidery and asked for the tartest/driest apples they had. She did not steer me wrong.

I added a booster step this time: I have an apple peeler so I saved peels and cores, put them in a cheesecloth bundle, and cooked those down separately to get all the good pectin-y bits out. I reduced it by half then added that to the strained jelly.

I also made this in an instant pot. I can't always guarantee I'll be able to get to the kitchen when a timer goes off, so I used our trusty InstaPot on 'Manual' for boiling (takes 1-1/2 to 2 one hour cycles to get a good boil on a vat of Fruit pulp) then I used its "slow cook" for simmering.

Worked a dream. I did the cheese in a regular heavy-bottomed saucepan—much less of it to work with.

Ep. 675: Not So Secret History | Chapter 49 / Volume 3, Chapter 13

Book talk begins at 13:23.

"If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more."

Tell us we're not the ONLY ones squealing over what may be the most romantic sentence in CraftLit history.

We've hit the turning point in the story here. Harriet is in love with Knightley. Knightley certainly seems to be in love with Harriet. And Emma's heartbroken.

The tension begins to unwind in this chapter, but not without leaving a few knots for Emma to untangle..

Ep. 669B: Interlude

This week, we're hitting the pause button on our usual programming. But don't worry, we've got a special treat for you—an Interlude filled with your wonderful voicemails and email, and some messages from Heather herself.

We hope you enjoy this little break with us, and we can't wait to be back with you next week!

• Per Professor Silverman: "'Gypsies' have been stereotypical outcasts in the British imagination for centuries. But this has little to do with real history of Romanies (ethnonym). A good book to read is David Cressy: Gypsies: An English History. Below are several reviews of it. I also found Sara Hemsley's blog post (also below) but it merely repeats the stereotypes."
