Homemade Orange Jam

Well, today I decided to make Orange Jam as we have almost finished the Strawberry Jam that I made earlier.  Ehmm... I am quite happy with the outcome!


Ingredients

a) 10 oranges and 1 grapefruit - wash thoroughly, remove seeds and cut into small chunks

b) 1 lemon - (juiced)
c) 2 cups of orange peels - finely sliced
d) 1 cinnamon stick
e) 3 cups of granulated sugar
f) some pandan leaves
 
 
Method :
 
1)  Blend ingredients (a).
2)  Transfer the puree to a medium-sized pot.

  
3)  Add ingredients (b, c, d and e).
4)  Cook the puree on medium low heat for about an hour or when it begins to thicken.

 


5) Add in pandan leaves and keep stirring for about 20 minutes or until it thickens.
6) Remove pandan leaves and cinnamon stick.
7) Let it cool completely before transfer to an airtight container.
8) Store in the refrigerator. It stays good for 2 to 3 weeks.
 
Enjoy your Homemade Orange Jam with toasted bread or your favourite cream crackers!

What is a 710??????


A few days ago a mechanic was having some work done at his garage. A blonde came in and asked for a seven-hundred- ten.

All the mechanics there looked at each other and another customer asked, 'What is a seven-hundred- ten?'
She replied, 'You know, the little piece in the middle of the engine, I have lost it and need a new one..'

She replied that she did not know exactly what it was, but this piece had always been there.

The mechanic gave her a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like.

She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710. He then took her over to a car just like hers which had its hood up and asked 'is there a 710 on this car?'.

She pointed and said, 'Of course, its right there.' the mechanic fainted

If you're not sure what a 710 is ...................

Empurau : The Most expensive fish in Malaysia

I received this article from a friend via e-mail :
Perhaps ikan kembong goreng crispy with sambal belacan good enough for us poor??
Or perhaps a good Tilapia or a Patin would taste better!!


A Fish Fit for the King
This is the most expensive fish in Malaysia and is only found in Sarawak. It's called the Empurau Fish and it cost RM 500.00 per kilogram. I (definitely not me, the writer) tasted the fish only once at my friend's restaurant in Selayang Jaya. Never tasted fresh water fish that good..

The picture was taken from Photo Malaysia by one of the photographers and he said that the fish weighs 25 kilograms so it means that fish costs RM12,500.00 in the market.

You may say it's crazy, but in Japan, some tunas cost a few hundred thousand dollars. And yes there are people still willing to pay for such delicacies.
